This manual provides detailed instructions for setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to help you maximize your keyboard's potential.

1. Setup

1.1 Package Contents

Before you begin, ensure all items are present in your package:

• ATK RS7 V2 Keyboard
• USB-C to USB-A Cable (8K capable)
• Magnetic Switch Puller
• Structure Conversion Tools
• Extra Set of Magnetic Switches
• Premium Dust Cover

1.2 Physical Connection

Connect the provided USB-C to USB-A cable from the keyboard to an available USB port on your computer. The keyboard is plug-and-play for basic functionality.

1.3 Software Installation (ATK HUB 3.0)

For full customization and advanced features, download and install the ATK HUB 3.0 software from the official website: WWW.ATKGEAR.COM. This software allows for real-time actuation point adjustment, advanced macro programming, and hardware-level profile storage.

1.4 Structure Conversion (TOP/Core-Flex)

The ATK RS7 V2 features a unique TOP/Core-Flex dual structure, allowing you to switch between a rigid mount (TOP Mode) for competitive gaming and a gasket-like flex (Core-Flex Mode) for comfortable typing. The factory default is the soft and elastic Core-Flex structure. Use the provided structure conversion tools to adjust the softness and hardness. This process involves handling internal components, so proceed with care.

1.5 Hot-Swapping Switches

The keyboard is equipped with hot-swappable magnetic switch sockets, allowing for tool-free switch replacement. Use the magnetic switch puller to carefully remove and insert compatible magnetic switches. The gold-plated contacts ensure enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.

2. Operating Instructions

2.1 Magnetic Switch Actuation Adjustment

The magnetic Hall Effect switches offer adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 4.0mm. This can be customized via the ATK HUB 3.0 software to suit your preference for instant response or a more deliberate press.

2.2 Polling Rate

The ATK RS7 V2 supports an 8000Hz hyper-speed polling rate, providing a true 0.125ms response time. This is 8 times faster than standard keyboards, ensuring minimal input delay. This feature requires a high-end CPU (Intel i7/Ryzen 7 or better) for optimal performance.

2.3 RGB Lighting Customization

The keyboard features per-key RGB lighting with 16.8 million colors. Customize lighting effects and synchronize them with your games using the ATK HUB 3.0 software. The south-facing LEDs ensure better keycap compatibility.

2.4 OLED Status Screen

Monitor real-time polling rate and other system information directly on the integrated OLED status screen.

2.5 Rotary Encoder Usage

The rotary encoder can be used for volume control or assigned to custom macro functions through the ATK HUB 3.0 software.

2.6 Combination Key Recording

The keyboard supports combination key recording for one-key combos, useful in large games. Features like DKS and MT magnetic axis are also supported. Note: It is not recommended to use the combination key recording function outside entertainment mode.

2.7 Pro Configuration Guide

The ATK RS7 V2 offers versatile configurations for different uses:

• Gaming Setup:
  • Actuation: 0.2mm for instant response in FPS games.
  • Structure: TOP mode for consistent, rigid feel.

  • Lighting: Warm white backlight for extended sessions.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Cleaning

To maintain your keyboard's performance and appearance, regularly clean it with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, you may use a can of compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

3.2 Switch Replacement

Utilize the provided magnetic switch puller for safe and easy replacement of individual switches. Ensure the keyboard is disconnected from power before attempting to replace switches.

4. Troubleshooting

4.1 Performance Fluctuations

In practical applications, factors such as environment, equipment condition, operation methods, and material wear may cause latency and RT accuracy to fluctuate within a reasonable range. Ensure your system meets the recommended specifications for optimal performance.

4.2 8000Hz Polling Rate Requirements

The 8000Hz polling rate feature requires a high-end CPU (Intel i7/Ryzen 7 or better) to function optimally. If you experience performance issues at 8000Hz, ensure your system meets this requirement or consider lowering the polling rate.

4.3 Structure Conversion Cautions

Structure conversion requires careful handling of internal components. Improper handling may lead to damage. If you are unsure, consult the official ATK GEAR website for detailed guides or professional assistance.
