POWERFUL ARM CORE

ADVANCED TMR SENSOR

Equipped with cutting-edge Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology to detect precise distance and magnetic field variations through subtle resistance shifts. Every key features a dedicated TMR sensor for superior resolution, delivering pinpoint accuracy, ultra-low latency, and an unparalleled magnetic switch input experience.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

ADJUSTABLE ACTUATION POINT

Customize each key with precision, adjusting actuation points from 0.1 to 3.35 mm with 0.01 mm sensitivity. Set shallow keypresses for instant actions and deeper ones for deliberate engagement, minimizing accidental touches and giving you an edge in both gaming and typing.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

LAST KEY PRIORITY (LKP) & SNAP CLICK

LKP allows seamless directional changes by prioritizing the last key pressed, ensuring smoother gameplay in titles like Valorant. With Snap Click, deeper keypresses take precedence when two keys are hit at once, automatically resetting shallower presses.

 *They are disabled by default, but you can easily enable them in our Launcher web app when needed.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

ONE KEY.MULTIPLE COMMANDS

Assign four actions to a single key based on the depth of your press. For example, lightly press a key to walk forward in a game, and press deeper to run. Additionally, releasing the key also supports two-stage settings. This allows for smoother, personalized combinations that can give you an edge in competitive gaming.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

DYNAMIC RAPID TRIGGER

Activate or deactivate keys based on how far they travel, not predefined points. This means immediate key reactions—press to activate, release to reset—allowing for faster, more precise keystrokes. In rapid gameplay, this translates to executing complex actions in real-time without delay, giving you a serious advantage during fast-paced sequences.
