Aimpad R5 Analog Linear Key Depressions using Infra Red Technology

Aimpad R5 Keys as knobs fall

In this new technology world, there is still analog technology used for the gaming world. That is what American company is going to shift their keyboard technology from digital to analog. See how this technology is beneficial to users.

1. What are types of switches used in this new analog technology keyboard?

2. What is the specific working of analog keys in this keyboard?

3. Which games support this innovative Aimpad R5 keyboard?

4. Does its manufacturer launch its product in the market for sale?

American company Aimpad’s idea if founded on very simple terminology, imbedding eye analog technology to their new keyboard. The simple question does not use analog technology for advanced accuracy and more durability. The answer came from American company Aimpad, with the new prototype R5.

Looking at the keyboard’s visual design, it is no different from usual keyboards currently available in the market. It is equipped with the latest mechanical switches like Cherry, Kailh, TOPR, and many others; it has a connection with the PC via a USB port and offers almost similar writing capabilities as conventional keyboards. As long as you are using Internet web browsers and text editors, you will not feel much difference compared to other keyboards.

Aimpad R5 IR beam under each key

This new keyboard becomes different and interesting when you use this keyboard with any of 220 numbers of compatible games. There come different functionalities of keys while utilizing its full features in these games. It works on pressure intensity of all keys. A gentle pressure on the key would mean a slow movement while a fully pressed key will move a sudden rotation of 180 degrees.

Infrared sensors under each switch are responsible for this capability; it emits the beam, and reflected light on the phototransistor will determine the pressure of the pressed key. With this type of technology, a total of 800 different levels of transitions. This ultimately will provide you with more or less smooth reaction while playing supported games.

This technology can be acquired by any type of switch; one just has to fit it under the casing and set up the phototransistor so that the reflected infrared beam can easily be detected on it. It provides extreme linearity with the pressure on the switches, which ultimately makes it the most demanding keyboard for gamers.

This keyboard is default calibrated from the manufacturer and is available in many models; they could be FPS, Car Racing, Aviation Simulation games for MOBA and many others. They have a dedicated color key that illuminates for the mode of operation, and further settings can also be achieved with its dedicated software.

There is an option to modify key operations dynamically even when you are playing the game. You can set keyboard shortcuts for changing the dynamic pressure intensity levels and change the reaction as per your demand. There could be profile setups for games like GTA or MAFIA such that one profile will have settings assigned to foot, and the other profile assignment will be set up for vehicle driving and can dynamically be set up via hotkeys set on the keyboard.

It is quite an interesting technology that you can set two different functions of a single key, one operation that is caused by the slight pressure on the switch and the other that is because of full pressure on the key switch. This keyboard will provide an amazing experience to game lovers; however, it will take some time for a gamer to use to their hands with this new keyboard technology.
