Operating Instruction

The OmniPoint 2.0 switches allow you to customize the actuation point of each key from 0.1mm to 4.0mm. A lower actuation point (e.g., 0.1mm) provides extremely fast response times, ideal for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts. A higher actuation point (e.g., 4.0mm) can prevent accidental key presses, suitable for typing or specific in-game actions.

Rapid Trigger

Rapid Trigger eliminates latency by dynamically activating and deactivating keys based on travel distance rather than a fixed point. This means keys reset as soon as they move upwards, allowing for incredibly fast repeated presses and movements, crucial for quick reactions in games.

2-in-1 Action Keys

This feature allows you to program two distinct actions to a single key based on how deep you press it. For example, a light press could trigger walking, while a deeper press on the same key could trigger sprinting. This provides enhanced control and efficiency in complex game scenarios.

The integrated OLED Smart Display provides real-time information and allows for on-the-fly adjustments of settings such as actuation points, profiles, and RGB lighting effects without needing to open the software. Use the clickable metal roller and media key to navigate the display menu.
