TO ADJUST ACTUATION POINT SELECT ONE OR MORE KEYS FIRST
The actuation point of a key on a keyboard refers to the precise point during a keypress at
which the key switch registers an input and sends a signal to the computer. This is typically
measured in millimeters of travel from the key’s resting position. For mechanical keyboards, the
actuation point is often distinct from the bottom-out point, meaning the key does not need to be
fully pressed down to register. A shorter actuation point can lead to faster response times,
which is particularly desirable for gaming or fast typing, while a longer actuation point may
help reduce accidental key presses. The feel and effectiveness of the actuation point vary based
on the switch type, such as tactile, linear, or clicky switches.
