4. Key Features

4.1 Rapid Trigger Magnetic Switches

The XVX G75 keyboard is equipped with Hall effect magnetic switches, offering a customizable dynamic keystroke and rapid trigger function. The actuation point can be precisely adjusted between 0.3mm and 4.0mm. This allows for ultra-precise actuation and dynamic activation/deactivation, which is beneficial for fast-paced gaming.

4.2 Programmable NKRO ANSI Keyboard

The keyboard supports N-Key Rollover (NKRO) and can be programmed using dedicated software. This allows for key remapping, macro creation, hotkey assignment, and custom lighting effects. Advanced functions like Dynamic Keystroke (DKS), Mod-Tap (MT), and Toggle Key (TGL) can be applied to individual keys.
