What is the difference between polling r
+
Scanning rate refers to how frequently the keyboard checks its keys to detect changes in key position or input. Polling rate refers to how frequently the keyboard reports the detected input to the computer. Both can contribute to a more responsive input experience, but they represent different stages of the input process.
What is a gasket-mounted keyboard?
+
A gasket-mounted keyboard uses small gasket materials to suspend the keyboard plate between the top and bottom parts of the case, rather than mounting the plate directly to the case with rigid screws. This allows the plate to move and flex slightly, creating a softer and more cushioned typing feel and helping reduce vibration.
What is a hot-swappable keyboard?
+
A hot-swappable keyboard allows you to ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ the switches without soldering. The switches are installed into special sockets on the PCB and can be removed with a switch puller. Hot-swap sockets support specific types of switches, so always check switch compatibility before replacing them.
What does N-Key Rollover (NKRO) mean?
+
N-Key Rollover (NKRO) means a keyboard can detect multiple keys pressed at the same time without incorrectly dropping or combining inputs. Each key press is registered independently, which is useful for gaming, shortcuts, and other situations that require multiple keys to be pressed at once.
What is SOCD?
+
SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions) is a keyboard feature that manages inputs from two opposite directional keys pressed at the same time, such as A + D or W + S. SOCD settings can prioritize one input, neutralize both inputs, or apply another defined behavior.
What is DKS?
+
DKS (Dynamic Keystroke) allows different actions to be assigned to different points of a single key’s travel. One action can occur when a key is pressed partway and another when it is pressed further down, providing more flexibility for gaming and custom key configurations.
What is Mod-Tap (MT)?
+
Mod-Tap (MT) allows one key to perform two different functions depending on how you use it. Tapping the key triggers one action, while holding it triggers another, such as Ctrl, Alt, or Shift. This is useful for gaming, shortcuts, and customized keyboard layouts.
What is TGL (Toggle)?
+
TGL (Toggle) is a keyboard feature that allows a key or function to be switched between two states with a single press. Unlike a function that remains active only while a key is held, a toggle function stays enabled or disabled until the key is pressed again.
What does 0.001 mm Rapid Trigger mean?
+
0.001 mm Rapid Trigger refers to the Rapid Trigger adjustment resolution of a supported magnetic keyboard. A 0.001 mm setting means the Rapid Trigger sensitivity can be adjusted in increments as small as 0.001 mm, depending on the keyboard and software. It does not mean the key only needs to travel 0.001 mm to activate.
