3.2 Rapid Trigger (RT) Technology

The A75 Pro utilizes Rapid Trigger technology, allowing keys to activate and deactivate based on movement rather than a fixed actuation point. This provides ultra-fast response times, especially beneficial in competitive gaming.

• Triggered once pressed, reset once released: This means a key registers input as soon as it moves down and resets as soon as it moves up, allowing for immediate and precise actions.
• Distancia de actuación ajustable: You can customize the trigger point from 0.2mm to 3.8mm using the Web Driver, tailoring the keyboard's responsiveness to your preference.

3.3 RT Plus Modes

The A75 Pro enhances Rapid Trigger with 'RT Plus' features for advanced control:

• Last Win Mode: When two opposing keys (e.g., 'W' and 'S' for forward/backward) are pressed simultaneously, the last key pressed takes priority. This allows for instant direction changes without stopping, crucial in fast-paced games.
• Release Dual-Trigger Mode: Each key can execute two distinct actions based on press and release. For example, press a key to jump and release it to crouch, enabling complex combos. In CS2, this can be used for quick stops by setting both forward and backward movement to a single key.
