ATK Launches RS6 V2: Aluminium 65% Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard With Dual LED

ATK has officially launched the updated version of its RS6 Hall effect gaming keyboard, introducing a number of aesthetics and quality of life updates over the keyboard's first iteration. The RS6 V2 is already available on ATK's website for $109.98 as part of an introductory offer, but it has an official MSRP of $139.98. The RS6 V2 follows a familiar 65% layout seen previously on the RS6, but it swaps out the tray-mount design of the original for a new gasket-mounted design. Additionally, the RS6 V2 is also only available in three colorways, for now: a pinkish Burgundy Red, the neutral Meteorite Gray, and Moonlight Silver.

One of the other major updates, and a feature that is still relatively rare, even in aesthetics-focused gaming keyboards, is the addition of dual-position per-key RGB backlighting, which allows for proper use of keycaps with both regular top shine-through legends and the more niche side-printed shine-through legends. The RS6 V2 ships by default with double-shot PBT keycaps with translucent sides and fully translucent keys on some accent keys, so this RGB lighting setup should play well with the keyboard's default keycaps.
