COUGAR ATTACK X3 RGB — Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, UK English, Black
CHERRY MX switchesPer-key RGBAluminium plateFPS palm rest
The COUGAR ATTACK X3 RGB (CGR-WMXMB-ATR) is a full-size mechanical keyboard built on genuine CHERRY MX switches — the ones rated for more than 50 million clicks each — rather than a house-brand clone, which is the main reason to choose it over cheaper RGB boards. Lighting is per key with 16.8 million colours and nine preset effects, all configurable in COUGAR’s UIX software along with up to 30 macros and three onboard profiles, so your setup travels with the keyboard rather than living on one PC. It reports at 1000 Hz with full N-key rollover over USB, so every simultaneous key press registers. The front plate is aluminium, the cable is 1.8 m and braided, and a detachable rubber FPS palm rest is included. It measures 467 × 230 × 40 mm and weighs 0.9 kg. In the box: keyboard, detachable palm rest and documentation.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Layout: UK English QWERTY has the tall Enter key, £ on Shift+3, and @ and " swapped compared with US layout. Letters and numbers are identical to US; if you need the US key shapes, ask us for the US International version. The listing for this part number is the CHERRY MX Red switch — linear, no tactile bump, light and fast, which is what most players want and what makes it a poor match for someone who prefers to feel the actuation. COUGAR does not publish a switch-colour table against part numbers on its own site, so tell us which switch you want before ordering and we will confirm it with the distributor rather than let the wrong feel arrive. It is wired with a fixed braided cable, with no USB passthrough and no wireless option. The palm rest is detachable, so the footprint drops when you remove it. COUGAR lists Windows 7, 8 and 10 and the UIX software is Windows-only; the keyboard types and lights without it. COUGAR does not publish the keycap material, the exact key count or a warranty term for this model. Note that the non-RGB ATTACK X3 sits in COUGAR’s discontinued section — this RGB version is the one still listed.
Best For
✓ Gamers who want real CHERRY MX switches rather than clones
✓ Setups where the lighting has to match the rest of the room
✓ Players who use macros and want them stored on the keyboard
✓ Long sessions where a palm rest helps
✓ Anyone replacing a membrane keyboard for good
✓ Desks with room for a full-size 467 mm board
