Operating Instructions

1. Rapid Trigger and Adjustable Actuation

The X60HE features Hall Effect Magnetic Switches with Rapid Trigger technology and adjustable actuation points. This allows for precise control and faster response times, especially beneficial in gaming.

• Rapid Trigger: Allows keys to activate and deactivate based on movement rather than a fixed point, enabling quicker repeated inputs.
• Adjustable Actuation: Customize the actuation distance of each key from 0.1mm to 3.4mm using the web driver. This allows you to set how far a key needs to be pressed to register an input.
