Rapid Trigger (RT) is one of the key features of our HFX magnetic switches. It lets your keys activate the moment you press and reset the instant you release, instead of being tied to a fixed actuation point. The result is quicker strafes, cleaner taps, and more responsive inputs in the types of games where speed makes the difference. Think about holding an angle in Valorant, counter-strafing in CS2, or chaining movements in Fortnite.
With Gear Link, you can now set up and customize Rapid Trigger directly in your web browser. There is no need to download or install additional software. You can fine-tune per-key sensitivity, adjust reset points, and create profiles that match your playstyle. Whether you want ultra-light resets for competitive shooters or more deliberate inputs for MMOs, Gear Link gives you the control to shape Rapid Trigger exactly how you prefer.
Accessing Gear Link
1. To start the customization, open your web browser and follow this link: Gear Link (Beta). You can change the language on the top right corner of the screen.
2. Click on Connect and select your keyboard or its' wireless receiver.
*Helpful tip: To reconnect with the device or simply check the connected devices list, click on the Device List on the top left corner.
3. On the left side panel, select Rapid Trigger under device settings to enter the RT menu. You will see a keyboard interface that reflects which keys are under the RT effect, highlighted in blue.
The number in blue shows your current Rapid Trigger sensitivity (0.20mm).
4. To adjust the RT sensitivity, Click on any of the highlighted keys (S in this example), and drag the red slider below.
Toggle and adjust Independent Press and Release Sensitivity Settings to set separate values for how far a key must travel up to reset, and down again to actuate, rather than sharing the same sensitivity to retrigger. At extreme lengths for Press, the key may not trigger until fully pressed. For Release, the key may not reset until fully released.
*Helpful tip: test the Rapid Trigger effect on the key selected with the included Test Preview.
5. To add or remove any keys from Rapid Trigger, click on Edit.
*Helpful Tip: apply only what you need to save battery life.
6. Continuous RT = ON - once a keypress has passed the actuation point, you can reset and actuate again as many times as you want without releasing the key fully. This is what you want if you wish to spam a single key as quickly as humanly possible until you release the key completely.
The effective range for continuous RT stretches all the way from the top to the bottom dead zones. In this range, you can actuate and reset quickly, how fast depends on the sensitivity you specified.
When Continuous RT = OFF, the effective range is from the actuation point to the bottom dead zone. This is more challenging if you want to spam the key but minimizes double presses.
*Helpful Tip: If you're a fast typist with the dexterity to discern where the actuation point is at all times, so you typically press again before keys are fully released. In this scenario, you want to avoid typos. Try the following settings:
-
Change the actuation point to 1.9 mm.
-
Enable Rapid Trigger.
-
Increase the sensitivity to 1.0 mm (you can fine-tune this accordingly)
-
Disable Continuous Rapid Trigger.
Be sure to click Done after you've selected the keys for the RT effect, after which you can adjust the RT sensitivity for them. For more information on Rapid Trigger and what it does, refer to the guide: Rapid Trigger - faster resets, always locked and loaded
