THE NEXT STEP / BY M4G
Meet Step One HE X — magnetic control, fast USB reporting and a keyboard you can tune to the way you play

Ultra-fast polling
Your keyboard sends an input update every 0.125 milliseconds at 8000 Hz
Illustrative timing model. Report interval is not total key-to-screen latency.


These are the supplied test captures, not a live measurement of your device.
HOW RAPID TRIGGER WORKS
Press W to activate it, lift slightly to reset it, then press again to reactivate it without releasing the key all the way
Follow the key on the left and the input on the right Choose any step to pause and explore it
Illustrated movement Sensitivity and calibration determine how far you need to move

Cross the activation point The keyboard sends W
Press W to cross the activation point
SET YOUR PRESS DEPTH
A magnetic switch senses key travel. Choose how far a key moves before its input activates, from 0.1 to 3.5 mm.
A shallow setting needs less travel. A deeper setting asks for a more deliberate press. Tune movement keys separately from the rest.
Set the threshold Then press the key using the travel slider

THE SWITCH / M4G CUSTOM
Mag Pro Pole turns key travel into a magnetic signal that HE X reads and tunes in software

A contactless Hall effect switch built for adjustable actuation and fast magnetic input
Every layer has a purpose
INSIDE THE KEYBOARD
The switches sit above the sensing board, surrounded by the layers that shape every press.
Select a layer to see where it sits and what it does

WHAT SOCD DOES
SOCD handles opposite direction keys pressed at the same time — for example, A and D. Your selected software rule determines which input the keyboard sends when those keys overlap.
The clip does not identify a particular SOCD mode. Check your game or event rules before enabling SOCD.
KEY FUNCTIONS

MORE INPUT CONTROL
Set these actions in Step One Hub. Choose how each key responds to a press, a hold or a release.
Assign three functions to one key at three different press depths.
Tap a key to toggle continuous triggering on or off. A held press can act normally.
Assign an action that triggers when a selected key is released.
When two selected keys are pressed, the deeper press takes priority.

THE DETAILS / AT A GLANCE
Actuation sets how far you press before an input activates. Rapid Trigger uses changes in key travel to reset and reactivate the input.
The desktop software includes a demo mode. Use the download in the software section when it is available; the physical key feel requires the keyboard.
