Alpha Optical Switch Technology
The A4Tech Bloody AT98 features advanced Alpha Optical Switch technology that revolutionizes gaming keyboard performance. Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on metal contacts, optical switches use infrared light beams to register keystrokes, eliminating debouncing delays and delivering instantaneous response times. This innovative technology provides precision-tuned actuation points and forces that redefine competitive gaming with unmatched speed and tactile feedback. The optical mechanism is engineered for exceptional durability, rated to withstand 100 million keystrokes without degradation in performance. The linear switch design ensures smooth, consistent keystrokes with a comfortable initial force of 48 ± 3 cN, making it ideal for both rapid-fire gaming actions and extended typing sessions. This technology gives gamers a significant competitive advantage by reducing input lag to virtually zero.
Customizable Actuation Point System
One of the most groundbreaking features of the Bloody AT98 is its fully adjustable actuation point system, which allows you to customize the trigger distance anywhere from 0.8mm to 3.0mm. This unprecedented level of customization means you can tailor the keyboard’s responsiveness to match your exact gaming style and preferences. Competitive FPS gamers can set ultra-short actuation points for lightning-fast reactions, while MOBA or MMO players might prefer slightly longer travel for more deliberate inputs. The keyboard offers four customizable variable speed profiles, enabling you to switch between different actuation settings instantly depending on the game you’re playing. This flexibility ensures optimal performance across all gaming genres, from fast-paced shooters to strategy games requiring precise control. The ability to fine-tune actuation points gives you complete control over your gaming experience, allowing you to find the perfect balance between speed and accuracy.
eXact Reset System for Maximum Performance
The revolutionary eXact Reset System built into the Bloody AT98 provides three distinct operating modes designed to maximize your gaming performance. Hyper Z-Force Mode delivers ultra-fast reset at just 0.3mm, enabling incredibly rapid key repetition perfect for games requiring quick successive inputs. Extreme X-Force Mode offers enhanced reset at 0.8mm, providing superior control and reducing accidental key presses during intense gaming sessions. Classic Mode allows you to cancel the eXact Reset feature entirely, reverting to the default key reset point for a more traditional mechanical keyboard feel. This triple-mode system gives you unprecedented flexibility to optimize your keyboard’s behavior based on your gaming needs. The faster reset points significantly reduce the time between keystrokes, allowing for higher actions-per-minute (APM) in competitive scenarios. Whether you’re executing complex combos, performing rapid building in battle royale games, or maintaining precise control in tactical shooters, the eXact Reset System ensures your keyboard keeps pace with your skills.
Premium Gaming PBT Keycaps
The Bloody AT98 comes equipped with high-quality Gaming PBT Keycaps specifically designed for serious gamers. PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a premium material known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear, shine, and fading compared to standard ABS plastic keycaps. These keycaps maintain their textured surface and appearance even after millions of keystrokes, ensuring your keyboard looks and feels great for years. Bloody’s PBT Keycaps are engineered with a lightweight construction that enhances the switch’s responsiveness, providing a quick bounce-back effect that’s essential for competitive gaming. The textured surface offers improved grip, reducing finger slippage during intense gaming sessions. The keycaps are also more resistant to oils and grime from your fingers, making them easier to maintain and keep clean. Combined with the keyboard’s 7 RGB backlit effects, these PBT keycaps allow light to shine through beautifully while providing the durability and performance characteristics demanded by professional gamers.
Compact 98-Key Design with Full Functionality
The Bloody AT98 features an intelligent 98-key compact style layout that delivers the functionality of a full-size keyboard while minimizing desktop space requirements. This 2-zone compact design strategically includes all essential keys, including dedicated arrow keys, function row, and navigation cluster, without the bulk of a traditional full-size keyboard. The space-saving design is perfect for modern gaming setups where desk real estate is precious, allowing more room for expansive mouse movements crucial for FPS gaming. Despite its compact footprint measuring just 385 x 138 x 41mm, you won’t sacrifice any important functionality or gaming capability. The thoughtful layout maintains comfortable key spacing and ergonomic positioning, preventing the cramped feel often associated with smaller keyboards. This design philosophy makes the AT98 an ideal choice for both home gaming stations and portable esports setups, offering professional-grade performance in a travel-friendly package.
High-Performance Gaming Features
The A4Tech Bloody AT98 is packed with high-performance features that cater to competitive gamers’ needs.

The stealth quiet typing mechanism allows for silent operation, letting you focus entirely on your game without distracting keyboard noise, while still maintaining the satisfying tactile response of mechanical switches. Seven RGB backlit effects provide stunning visual customization options, allowing you to personalize your gaming setup’s aesthetics while improving visibility in low-light conditions. The total travel distance of 3.8 ± 0.2 mm strikes the perfect balance between responsiveness and comfort, preventing accidental key presses while maintaining quick actuation. With USB wired connectivity, you’ll experience rock-solid connection reliability without the latency or battery concerns of wireless alternatives. Every aspect of the AT98 is optimized for gaming performance, making it an excellent choice for serious gamers across all competitive titles.
