Mode d'emploi

OmniPoint 2.0 Adjustable Switches:

The OmniPoint 2.0 switches allow you to customize the actuation point of each key. This means you can set how far a key needs to be pressed before it registers an input.

• Adjusting Actuation: Use the OLED Smart Display and the scroll wheel/button to adjust the actuation point globally or per key. Shorter actuation (e.g., 0.1mm) provides faster response for gaming, while longer actuation (e.g., 4.0mm) can prevent accidental presses for typing.
• 2-in-1 Action Keys: Within the SteelSeries GG software, you can assign two different actions to a single key based on the depth of the key press. For example, a light press could be 'walk' and a deep press could be 'run'.

Écran intelligent OLED :

The integrated OLED display provides real-time information and allows for on-the-fly adjustments without needing to open the software.
