MageGee Captain87 Rapid Trigger Magnetic Switch Keyboard

About MageGee Captain87

The MageGee Captain 87 is a wired mechanical keyboard designed for high-performance gaming, distinguished by its use of magnetic switches and "Rapid Trigger" technology. Unlike traditional switches with a fixed actuation point, the magnetic switches in the Captain87 use Hall Effect sensors to detect the precise position of the key in real-time. This allows for an adjustable actuation distance, typically ranging from 0.1mm to 4mm, which can be fine-tuned to an accuracy of 0.1mm using dedicated software.

The core of its gaming appeal is the Rapid Trigger feature. This technology dynamically adjusts the key's reset point, meaning a key can be reactivated the moment it begins to travel upward, without needing to return to a fixed "up" position. This allows for near-instantaneous key resets and repeated inputs, providing a significant competitive advantage in fast-paced games like FPS and rhythm titles where quick, precise movements are critical.

Beyond its switches, the Captain87 features a gasket-mounted structure and multiple layers of sound-absorbing foam. This build quality not only provides a softer, more cushioned typing feel but also eliminates the hollow sounds often associated with budget keyboards, resulting in a cleaner, "creamy" sound signature. The keyboard also boasts a durable CNC aluminum case, side-printed PBT keycaps, and south-facing RGB backlighting for a premium aesthetic and enhanced durability. The keyboard is hot-swappable, but it is only compatible with OUTEMU magnetic switches.
