The end result is the same: as a key is pressed, the keystroke input is transmitted and the result is displayed on-screen.

Custom actuation enables you to set the point a keypress registers from 0.4 to 3.6mm, to personalize your typing experience from the lightest touch or the strongest keypress.
Whether you shorten the actuation distance for fast actions and commands, or lengthen it to increase typing accuracy, you decide how your keystrokes land.
Rapid Trigger enables hyper-quick movements that simply aren't possible on conventional gaming keyboards.
With Rapid Trigger enabled, keys instantly reset the moment they travel upward. The result is faster and more precise actions, giving you a step over your opponents.
Dual actuation allows you to assign two discrete actions to any key. Assign two spells for instant, satisfying, combos or switch between a walk and a sprint without needing a second key or modifier.
Dual actuation is only available on keyboards featuring magnetic switches, giving you the advantage in-game.
