Know before you buy
Unlike traditional mechanical switches with a fixed actuation point, these MGX magnetic switches allow you to adjust the sensitivity. You can customize the actuation distance anywhere from 0.4mm for rapid-fire gaming to 3.6mm for a more deliberate typing feel.
Unlike traditional mechanical switches with a fixed actuation point, these MGX magnetic switches allow you to adjust the distance required to register a keypress. You can customize the actuation anywhere from a hair-trigger 0.4mm to a deep 3.6mm, depending on whether you prioritize speed for gaming or accuracy for typing.
Dual-Trigger allows you to program two distinct actions for a single key press based on how far you push the key down. For example, you could set a light press to walk and a full press to sprint, giving you more control without needing extra keybinds.
