What are the best actuation points for a gaming keyboard?
|
Genre |
Rapid Trigger On/Off |
Actuation Point |
Explanation |
|
Shooters (CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends, CoD, Fortnite) |
ON |
1.0mm |
In competitive games where milliseconds matter, it is best to enable Rapid Trigger with a shorter actuation point. That way, your inputs will come out as fast as possible, ensuring you aren’t missing any strafes and movement techniques. |
|
MOBAs |
ON |
1.0mm |
Same as above. |
|
RPGs/MMORPGs |
ON |
1.5mm |
This configuration allows for quick inputs and resets, which means casting your in-game spells and abilities will feel more responsive than they would at a longer actuation point. |
|
General Purpose |
OFF |
2.0mm |
This is a good default configuration that mimics the experience of traditional mechanical keyboards. This provides a balanced experience for a variety of gaming and non-gaming tasks. |
|
Typing |
OFF |
3.0mm |
For heavy-handed typers, increasing the actuation point can help prevent typos and accidental presses. |
Hopefully, this article has helped you get a clear understanding of how you can customize and optimize CORSAIR’s Hall effect keyboard switches. Setting this up properly can help you merge peak performance with personal preferences, and that, my friend, is a very powerful advantage.
