What are Maglev Triggers and how do they work?
The Maglev Triggers (magnetic levitation triggers) are miniaturized mechanical gaming buttons that sit flush with the frame when inactive and pop-up automatically when you activate them using the physical toggle button.
You can then map these two triggers to any of the virtual buttons in a game for precise controls. The Maglev Triggers work with all games without any special integration.
