Is there a way to increase the repeat rate of a switch? Like if I hold the key down for 300ms, then it rapidly repeats? Asking because I play starcraft 2. where you would want to spam a certain button repeatedly really quick. But you also dont want to impact typing so thats the reason for the delay before it rapidly repeats the press

You could do it manually with rapid trigger (and potentially the addition of the continuous rapid trigger setting depending on preference) combined with a deep actuation point of like 2mm. This way a normal press down and up is what it is, but once you get past 2mm you can wiggle the key for super fast spamming until you either release it past 2mm or with continuous rapid trigger fully release the key

You could do it...
Interesting, okay! Would this be a software thing that could be added down the line as well? Or would there be hardware limitations?
I've already pre-ordered my keyboard for shooters and racing games I play, but adding this functionality for Starcraft 2 as well well would be amazing.

Free software update, no new hardware needed
Though I don't have any kind of timeline on when (or if) it gets added

Amazing! ❤️ Thanks so much! And no worries on time frame. Just hope it does get added, there are very few keyboards that let you increase its repeat rate without impacting typing as well. This feature would fill a niche that not many do
