3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Rapid Trigger Technology

The FUN68 keyboard features ultra-precise rapid trigger technology, allowing for adjustable actuation and reset points. This enables faster response times in gaming by registering key presses and releases with minimal movement.

• Actuation Distance: Adjustable in 0.005mm steps. This fine-tuning allows users to set the exact point at which a key press is registered.
• Reset Distance: The point at which a key is registered as released, also customizable for rapid successive inputs.

Adjust these settings using the MONSGEEK Driver software for optimal performance based on your preference.

3.2 Dynamic Key Functions (DKS, Toggle Key, Mod-Tap)

The FUN68 supports advanced key functions for enhanced versatility:

• DKS (Dynamic Key Stroke): Allows a single key to perform different actions based on how deeply it is pressed. For example, a light press could be 'walk' and a deep press could be 'run'.
• Toggle Key: Configures a key to switch between two states with each press, such as toggling a specific function on or off.
• Mod-Tap: Enables a key to act as a modifier (e.g., Shift, Ctrl) when held, and as a regular key when tapped.

These functions are configurable via the MONSGEEK Driver software.

3.3 16K Scan Rate and 8K Polling Rate

The keyboard features a 16K universal scan rate, which fully supports an 8K polling rate. This high polling rate ensures that the keyboard reports key presses to your computer up to 8000 times per second, minimizing input lag and providing an extremely responsive gaming experience.

3.4 ARGB Lighting

The FUN68 series includes Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting with individually controlled LEDs. Key features of the ARGB system include:

• Flicker-Free Lighting: Eliminates the flickering often associated with conventional RGB, reducing visual fatigue.
• Alpha Channel Integration: Allows for richer dynamic effects.
• 500Hz Refresh Rate: Contributes to smoother and more vibrant lighting transitions.

Lighting effects and customization are managed through the MONSGEEK Driver software.

3.5 Magnetic Switch Compatibility

The FUN68 keyboard is designed for cross-compatibility with various third-party magnetic switches. This allows users to customize the feel and performance of their keyboard by swapping switches.

• Switch Replacement: Carefully remove existing keycaps and switches. Insert compatible magnetic switches into the desired key positions.
• Calibration: After replacing switches, use the MONSGEEK Driver software to select the corresponding switch type from the list and calibrate the keyboard. This ensures accurate recognition and performance of the new switches.
