GMK has introduced the TriggerKey, a specialized mechanical key system designed to provide adjustable actuation and tilt control. Utilizing a patented lever-based mechanism, the system allows users to fine-tune the actuation point within a range of 0-2mm, differing from standard vertical-movement switches.

The system also enables users to adjust the tilt angle of each keycap between 0-34 degrees to promote a more natural hand position. The kit is designed to snap onto compatible MX-style switch housings, such as Cherry and Gateron, though it is noted to be incompatible with most Hall Effect or Kailh Box-style switches.

The TriggerKey bundle is priced at €49 and includes four specialized keycaps, often used for WASD or arrow keys, along with assembly accessories. These keycaps are made from doubleshot ABS and feature a stainless steel pivot pin. Users can further customize the feel using three interchangeable stem cap heights: 0.7mm, 1.2mm, and 1.7mm.
