Thought I might ask here, sorry if I’m in the wrong place. But I just learned about Wooting’s rapid trigger (https://wooting.io/wooting-two-he), that deactivates the switch when it changes direction instead of when it reaches the reset ‘breaking point’.
My thought was if this would be able to be controlled on a regular MX switch and if such a program already exists? Since I’d prefer not to buy a Wooting keyboard and run their software. Seems like Razer has copied Wooting in their latest software (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c64yGHLO-TU&t=10s), but I’d prefer not to buy Razer products either. So looking for an open source program to control the trigger behaviour of the keyboard.
Hope my question is clear, thanks:)
I’m not sure but I don’t think optical switches have that ability either, you’re either breaking the beam or you aren’t.
Wooting uses hall-effect sensors and MX-compatible “switches” that have a magnet in the plunger. The set and reset thresholds can be set in software/firmware.
So it can be done with hall-effect switches but not with mechanical switches as you say.
