Keyboard Features


Special Features of the Cooler Master Trigger
  • High durability gold-plated Cherry switches rated for over 50 million key strokes
  • Multi-media control keys for convenient sound control
  • 5 macro keys with profile management
  • 18K gold plated ultra low latency USB plugs
  • Anti-ghosting 6 key rollover

  • Two port enhanced USB 2.0 hub

Anti-ghosting is featured with 6 key rollover.  This means lost keystrokes when keys are held down briefly as the keyboard can register up to 6 separate keys at the same time.  This is a critical function when seconds count while strafing and triggering macros/shortcuts at the same time.

The Trigger can be purchased with a variety of Cherry MX switch types based on your preference.  All Cherry keyswitches feature their Gold Crosspoint contact technology, which has demonstrated its reliability over a period of decades.  Or Trigger uses the Cherry MX Brown switch rated at a medium resistance Force Feedback (bump).

  • SGK-6000-GKCC1 (Black Switch)
  • SGK-6000-GKCL1 (Blue Switch)
