Cougar ATTACK X3 RGB Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-01-23

With the ATTACK X3 RGB, Cougar is introducing another affordable peripheral to the market which houses the reliable Cherry MX RGB switches and we have additional flexibility of choice between four different types: Black, Brown, Blue and Red.

After connecting the keyboard to a spare USB port, the LED light show will begin:
