COUGAR is proud to announce the arrival of COUGAR Attack X3. This new keyboard caters to those purist gamers who crave for a high quality mechanical gaming keyboard that simply provides three things: quality, useful functions and an elegant and durable design. Attack X3 fulfills these requirements with a combination of Cherry MX switches, gaming features and an impressive aluminum based design.

COUGAR Attack X3 uses the original Cherry MX mechanical switches that guarantee the incredible performance people associate with a true mechanical gaming keyboard. Their unique tactile and audible feedback will provide you with an unparalleled gaming experience. COUGAR UIX System will allow gamers to get the most out of this keyboard. With UIX, the user can easily define the function of any key, and use up to ten of them as macro keys. All the settings (up to three full configuration profiles) can then be conveniently stored in the keyboards on board memory, which allows the user to bring the keyboard to another computer and keep all the settings.



Quick response is guaranteed with a 1000Hz polling rate that can be fine-tuned to suit users' preferences. The keyboard's N-Key Rollover capabilities bring absolute input accuracy: It doesn't matter how many keys the gamer presses, the result will always be accurate input.

Finally, the aluminum frame that covers the keyboard provides a distinctively elegant design that sets it apart from the loads of plastic keyboards that flood the market. Durable and classy, this keyboard comes also with exceptionally strong red backlights that will not only allow you to play even in dimly lit environments, but also enhance the gaming atmosphere.

Attack X3 is, in short, everything gamers need it to be, and nothing they don't. It will be available in December in the EU, and in Q1 2016 in the USA. USA MSRP: USD 119.9 (VAT excluded).

Well if you really want to be durable, why not put a metal plate/cap on those keys?

Metal Caps? Why? Cougar are doing a great job on their peripherals, i've got myself a 700k and i can say for sure, it is the best mechanical keyboard i've ever owned. Is a freaking tank!

same reason they put metal on the top of the keyboard case, combating wear and tear.
metal will not wear from touching, plasting will, so a little metal layer on the top could fix that.

That is not true at all. I got many keyboards from 2-6 years ago and not one key cap has worn off.

its not entirely about actually wearing off to the point if it breaking or something, neither does the top case of the keyboard really.
That however does not mean you dont see what was first perhaps a bit of grainy dull surface become a shiny flat surface later in certain often touched areas (like the middle of the spacebar) due to again, wear and tear.

If they make the top case of the keyboard metal with the claim the make it more durable then certainly the parts you actually touch need a similar treatment.
