Hello fellas, I've recently upgraded my keyboard. But I'm having a hard time to adjust myself to the new Hall Effect thing, I was using razer green switches, those were heavy af, but these are too light.

Is this normal to feel?

I'm hitting like 100s instead of 300 like nothing, I can like fc but only 100s xD

Need some advice here. thx

I'd recommend trying 1.0mm actuation point and 0.4mm sensitivity. You may have them too sensitive or activates too early which can causes low accuracy. You can also try different HE switches too. My friend prefers the Lekker60 while I can only play with Lekker45 (very light - 60g vs 45g springs.)

I switched to a madlions 68R fully around a month ago, and before that I used a Corsair K63 with mx reds for YEARS. It is normal to drop accuracy when switching to a HE keyboard, especially if you immediately play with rapid trigger. I personally benefit from how light the switches are as it has allowed me to gain so much 200BPM stamina that I got my first 500PP play. I use 1.5mm actuation point (the same as mx reds) and 0.1mm sensitivity (I don't know wooting software or any other HE keyboard software, but it's 0.1 rapid trigger travel and 0.1 quick reset). I do turn off rapid trigger sometimes if I'm streaming anything under like 190BPM though.

And like Long said you can try other HE switches, I can only speak for the Kulun magnetic axis switches, but a lot of people choose lekker switches, geon raptor switches, or gateron jade switches. Alternatively you could just buy heavier springs and switch the current springs in your switches out with heavier ones.

Yea I need to check those other switches out, I will try to use 1.5mm actuation point, but I've noticed having rapid trigger off helps quite a bit more. I've noticed nice improvement on streaming as I rarely streamed because the heavy switches would burn my forarm alot. But jumps I was doing doing okay.

thanks for the tips!
