What is Rapid Trigger? The "Cheat Code" Pro Players Are Using (Explained)

The "Cheat Code" That Isn't Cheating.
If you follow the Valorant esports scene, you’ve probably seen pros like Demon1 or TenZ talking about "Wooting" or "Rapid Trigger."
But what actually is it? And is it worth the hype for an Indian gamer on a budget? Let's break it down in The Tech Lab.
The Old Way (Mechanical Switches)
Normal mechanical keyboards (even expensive Red/Blue switches) have a "Fixed Actuation Point."
- You press the key down (2mm) -> It fires.
- You must release the key almost all the way up before you can press it again.
This delay is tiny, but in a game like Valorant or CS2, it kills your movement. You feel "floaty" or "heavy" when trying to counter-strafe.
The New Way (Rapid Trigger)
New "HE" (Hall Effect) keyboards—like the Aula HE or Ajazz Magnetic series—don't use metal contacts. They use magnets.
They don't wait for the key to come back up.
- The moment you lift your finger 0.1mm, the key stops.
- The moment you press down 0.1mm, it fires again.
Why does this matter for you?
- Instant Stopping: You stop moving the micro-second you let go of 'A' or 'D'. Your aim becomes perfectly accurate instantly.
- Spamming: You can jiggle-peek corners 2x faster than a normal keyboard.
- Confidence: No more "I clicked but I didn't stop!" excuses.
Is it worth it?
- If you play story games like God of War? No.
- If you grind Ranked in Valorant/CS2? 100% Yes. It is the single biggest hardware advantage you can buy right now.
