Rapid Trigger takes speed to the next level

Addition of Rapid Trigger function

PR TIMES

On a normal keyboard, input occurs when the keyboard is pressed down to a certain point, and is released when the keyboard rises to the same point. However, when the Rapid Trigger function is turned on, input is released the moment a key rises from the depressed state. This eliminates the need to be aware of the release point when inputting a series of hits, allowing for more intuitive operation.

Expanded range of actuation point settings

The actuation point is the line that indicates how much you have to press down on the keyboard to reach a certain point in time. The Apex Pro series has been known for its ability to set the actuation point from 0.2mm to 3.8mm in 0.1mm increments for each key, but this firmware update expands the setting range! After the update, it can be set in 40 steps from 0.1mm to 4.0mm!

The Rapid Trigger function is known for its great advantage in realizing operations such as stoppage in VALORANT, complex character control in Apex Legends, and high-speed building in Fortnite, among others, and is highly supported by professional e-sports players. I know many of you have dared to replace your keyboards with Rapid Trigger functionality, but it is nice to see a new feature added to an existing product. If you liked the Apex Pro but now it's in the closet... apply the firmware update and experience its benefits!
