A bump in the middle of travel, usually around the actuation point.
Although the board is technically outfitted with Cherry MX switches, Corsair used its own patented MX Speed switches, which trigger 40% faster than standard Cherry MX Reds by reducing the actuation point from 2.0mm to 1.2mm.
Also, the actuation and release bumps are at almost the same spot, so there's practically no dead zone between them.
If you don’t like that, you can use the SteelSeries Engine app to adjust the actuation point—anywhere between 0.4 mm and 3.6 mm, represented by a 1 to 10 scale, with 10 requiring the most extended press.
Shah's version of morphing skins also uses threads attached to spools which cinch like a belt for actuation.
Delivering smooth, linear response with a wide actuation zone, Cherry MX Red switches have the responsiveness you need for perfectly executing double and triple taps, and there’s no audible click or tactile “bump.”
