Cougar Attack X3 (2018) review: An RGB keyboard for under $100? Believe it.

RGB backlighting and Cherry MX switches make this a flagship keyboard at an entry-level price.

Coming in under $100 with full RGB backlighting and Cherry MX switches, the Cougar Attack X3 is essentially a flagship keyboard at an entry-level price.

Last time I looked at the Cougar Attack X3, I called it “an unpretentious keyboard.” Not exactly the most inspiring compliment, but about the best I could do at the time. The standout feature was that it contained honest-to-goodness Cherry MX switches in an era where that’s increasingly rare. Still, the Attack X3 was far from the only keyboard to feature Cherry switches in 2016, and in all other respects—shape, materials, lighting—it was just competent. Inoffensive. Boring, perhaps.

But dropping the price can make an also-ran into a must-have item. Such is the case with the Attack X3’s 2018 revision, a full RGB-backlit keyboard that’s selling for under $100.
