2.3 Rapid Trigger Functionality

2.4 Adjustable Actuation Point

Customize the actuation point for each key from 0.2 mm to 3.8 mm with 0.1 mm sensitivity. This allows you to fine-tune key responsiveness to your preference, reducing misfires and optimizing your typing or gaming style.

2.5 Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS)

Dynamic Keystrokes allow you to assign up to four different actions to a single key based on the press depth. For example, a light press could trigger one action, while a deeper press triggers another. This feature enhances efficiency and control, especially in games requiring layered inputs.

Snap Action, combined with Last Key Priority (LKP), prioritizes deeper keypresses when multiple keys are pressed. This feature contributes to smoother and more precise directional changes, particularly useful in fast-paced gaming scenarios.
