Adjustable Actuation and Rapid Trigger

The MCHOSE ACE 68 features magnetic switches that allow for adjustable actuation points from 0.1mm to 4.0mm. The Rapid Trigger function dynamically changes the actuation and deactivation points, enabling faster and more precise inputs by registering key presses and releases based on movement rather than fixed points.

Fonctions clés avancées

The keyboard supports several advanced key functionalities for enhanced gaming and productivity:

• RS (Rapid Shift): Compares the actuation depths of two assigned keys and triggers only the deeper-pressed key.
• SOCD (Directions Cardinales Opposées Simultanées) : When opposing direction keys (e.g., Left + Right) are pressed together, you can set it to neutralize, prioritize the last-pressed, or hold the first-pressed direction.
• DKS (Dynamic Key Press): Map up to four separate actions along a single key's travel—at actuation, bottom-out, first release, and full release—for chain macros or multi-stagcommandes e.
• MT (Mod-Tap) : Assign a key to send one keycode on a quick tap and a different (usually modifier) code when held, blending typing and modifier layers seamlessly.
• TGL (basculer) : Turn any key into an on/off switch—press once to latch the output, press again to cancel, with a hold still providing momentary behavior for instant control.
