5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjustable Actuation and Rapid Trigger

The magnetic switches allow for precise control over actuation points. This feature is particularly beneficial in fast-paced games where quick and accurate inputs are crucial.

• Trigger Travel: Adjust the distance a key needs to be pressed to register an input. This can be set from 0.02mm to 4mm via the web driver.
• Rapid Trigger (RT) Mode: This mode allows a key to register an input as soon as it begins to move downwards and reset as soon as it begins to move upwards, without needing to reach a fixed reset point. This enables extremely fast repeated inputs and immediate stops.
