What is Rapid Trigger on a Keyboard?
Rapid Trigger is a feature designed to enhance the responsiveness and speed of keyboard inputs by dynamically adjusting the actuation and reset points of keys. The main advantage of Rapid Trigger is its ability to minimize latency and improve the efficiency of key presses, making it a game-changer for FPS pro gamers or rhythm gamers chasing perfect combos.
How Does Rapid Trigger Work?
Traditional mechanical keyboards require keys to travel to a fixed actuation point (e.g., 2mm) to trigger a press and fully return to their resting position before they can be pressed again. This creates inherent latency, especially during rapid keystrokes.
Rapid Trigger keyboard flips this model:
1. Dynamic Actuation: The key triggers the moment it moves downward past your customized actuation point, which can be fine-tuned to as low as 0.01mm for some keyboards.
2. Instant Reset: If you set a 0.1mm reset point, the key resets as soon as it lifts by 0.1mm, eliminating the need to wait for a full rebound.
Benefits of Rapid Trigger Keyboards
1. Faster Response Time
Rapid Trigger keyboards eliminate fixed actuation and reset points, reducing delay and improving reaction speed - critical in competitive gaming.
2. Improved Accuracy
Customize the actuation point for more precise key responses, minimizing accidental presses and ensuring accuracy in fast-paced tasks.
3. Customization
You can adjust each key’s accuracy, even down to 0.01mm, to create a personalized typing or gaming experience that matches your preferences.
Games That Benefit from Rapid Trigger
1. First-Person Shooter (FPS) Games
In FPS games, quick reflexes can make all the difference. Low latency allows players to react faster and hit their targets with greater accuracy.
2. Rhythm Games
For rhythm-based games like OSU!, timing is everything. Rapid Trigger’s precise actuation point adjustments help players hit every note perfectly, boosting their scores with quick, accurate inputs.
3. Fighting Games
Fighting games require fast, precise movements—especially when chaining combos or executing defensive moves. With speedy response, players can execute continuous actions without delay.
