The GMK TriggerKey is an add-on mechanical keyboard accessory that turns ordinary Cherry MX stem keys into adjustable, controller-like triggers. It allows users to fine-tune the actuation point for faster movement and adjust the tilt angle of the keycaps for ergonomic comfort.
GMK electronic design GmbH, a German company known for doubleshot injected keycaps, designed this accessory. The TriggerKey replaces the keycap on specific keys like WASD, offering a shell that fits over the switch. It comes in at least 13 color combinations, with the red version sent for review. The retail kit includes four TriggerKeys, three sets of stem caps in different heights (1.7 mm, 1.2 mm, 0.7 mm), installation tools, and spare screws.
Each TriggerKey has two set screws: the upper screw adjusts the keycap tilt, while the lower screw changes the actuation point by up to 2 mm total travel. This allows users to set the trigger point close to the switch actuation for rapid triggers, ideal for gaming. The product is compatible with most Cherry MX-style switches.
Overall, the GMK TriggerKey offers a unique way to enhance gaming keyboards with customizable triggers, maintaining GMK's high-quality ABS plastic construction. It is a versatile accessory for enthusiasts seeking precision and comfort.
