Attack Shark has launched the R86 HE, a new gaming keyboard that combines a carbon‑fiber case with magnetic switches in a compact 75% layout, targeting competitive players seeking both durability and performance.
Key Features of the R86 HE
The R86 HE’s chassis is constructed from aerospace‑grade carbon fiber, offering a lightweight yet rigid frame that resists flex under intense gaming sessions.
Its magnetic switches are mounted on a detachable PCB, allowing users to swap out switches without soldering and to keep the keyboard clean of dust and debris.
The 75% layout retains essential navigation keys while shaving off the full‑size footprint, making the keyboard ideal for smaller desks and rapid hand movement.

Each switch provides a linear actuation with a 1.5 mm travel distance, delivering a crisp, responsive feel favored by esports athletes.
RGB lighting is fully programmable via Attack Shark’s companion software, supporting per‑key customization, lighting profiles, and macro recording.
Build Quality and Ergonomics
The keyboard’s keycaps are made from double‑shot PBT, resistant to shine and wear, while the detachable magnetic switch module reduces wobble and enhances stability.
A detachable USB‑C cable with a braided sleeve ensures a secure connection and easy transport for tournament play.
