The A104X is a wired-only model optimized for extreme gaming performance with a stable 8000Hz polling rate. While the A104 Pro offers tri-mode wireless versatility, the A104X prioritizes minimum latency over wireless flexibility.
Standard keyboards poll at 1000Hz (1ms delay). The A104X polls at 8000Hz (0.125ms), so keystrokes are registered faster in games where timing precision matters, such as VALORANT or Osu!.
The A104X uses a Gasket mount with a flexible PC positioning plate and internal sound-dampening foam. This provides a soft-elastic typing feel and a 'thocky' sound profile alongside its gaming performance.
The A104X typically ships with customized Skiing or Snow switches featuring POM/POK materials for a smooth, pre-lubed feel. The Skiing switch has a 1.3mm actuation point for faster trigger response.
Full-key hot-swappable sockets support both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. You can swap to tactile or clicky switches without soldering.
The 1.14-inch TFT screen shows real-time performance data and custom GIFs. The multi-function knob navigates the screen menu to adjust volume, lighting, and polling rate (1K or 8K) directly on the hardware.
OEM-height double-shot PBT keycaps provide durability and oil resistance. A 3.5mm high-tenacity silicone pad inside the case adds to the solid, premium typing feel.
The full 104-key layout includes a number pad useful for spreadsheets and data entry. The Gasket structure and PBT keycaps handle long typing sessions comfortably alongside gaming use.
The A104X is compatible with macOS. Key remapping is available through DAREU's driver software.
