What makes a Hall effect keyboard different?

Hall effect switches sense magnet movement instead of a physical contact. That lets you set the actuation point per key and use features like Rapid Trigger, where a key resets the moment it moves up.

What is Rapid Trigger and why does it matter?

Rapid Trigger resets a key as soon as it travels back past its set point, so repeated presses register faster. It is most useful in games where you tap and re-tap the same key quickly.

Does the 60% layout have arrow keys?

No. A 60% layout keeps the main typing block and drops the function row, arrow cluster and numpad. Arrow and function inputs are reached through layers instead.

Is it safe against spills?

Corsair rates it IP57 for water and dust resistance. That covers splashes and dust, but it is not a claim that the board can be submerged for everyday use.

What is FlashTap SOCD?

FlashTap handles opposing directional inputs, known as SOCD. It lets you set how the board resolves pressing left and right at once, which matters for strafing and counter-strafing.
