C.O.M.B.O. Speeds

C.O.M.B.O. Buttons and Extensions have three different speed options, each interchangeable, that allow you to choose what best fits your playstyle.

What is Speed?

Before delving into the finer details of the C.O.M.B.O. speed options, it is important to understand the basic terminology that will be used.

Actuation Point: the position of the button press where the internal switch activates and sends a signal to the game, or the distance a button press travels to get to that position.

Full Press: the position of the button press where the button cannot move any further, or the distance a button travels in order get to that position.

Active Press: any part of the button press that is between the Actuation Point and the Full Press, or the distance the buttons travel from the Actuation Point position to the Full Press position.

Options

There are three different speed available for the C.O.M.B.O.s.

Classic Speed:

1.0mm Actuation Point.
Indicated by three (3) dots on the bottom of the Plunger (see image below).

Super Speed:

0.5mm Actuation Point.
Indicated by two (2) dots on the bottom of the Plunger (see image below).

Ultra Speed:

0.3mm Actuation Point.
Indicated by one (1) dot on the bottom of the Plunger (see image below).

Why are Speed options important?

Understanding the speed options is important for two main reasons: feel and quickness.

Feel

Actuation Point and Total Travel distance are important factors in how a button feels. In general, most people simply want to use a button that feels similar to what they are used to or something they feel comfortable with. The speed options of the C.O.M.B.O.s provide you with the opportunity to match the comfort you are used to in a single button.

Faster Is Better

In competition, one factor is greater than the rest: speed. The quicker you can activate your button, the faster your outputs. This is what makes the Ultra Speed the strongest option.
