5. Operating Instructions

The Micro Switch Light Version Clicky Hair Trigger Kit shortens the trigger distance to 1.5mm, providing a rapid, mouse-click response. This is particularly beneficial for fast-paced games requiring quick trigger actuation.

Important Considerations:

• Racing Games: After installation, the L2 and R2 triggers will always maintain full speed in racing games due to the shortened travel distance.
• Shooting Games: For optimal performance in shooting games, it is recommended to turn off the "Trigger Effect Intensity" function for L2 and R2 triggers in your PS5 settings. This prevents any potential resistance that might interfere with the rapid actuation of the clicky triggers.
