FK2

The First Rapid Trigger Controller

With conventional buttons, the mechanism was that when you release the button and it rises to a certain position, input is turned off.

However, the Rapid Trigger uses a mechanism that turns off input the moment you release the button, allowing for more intuitive operation.

Have you ever had the experience of walking forward to guard...but getting hit? It's not your fault, but the mechanism of the previous buttons may be to blame.

Customisable Actuation Point

This controller allows you to change the actuation point to your preferred position, so try to find the setting that is most comfortable for you.

The World's First "CHERRY MX Inductive Silver Switch"

"Rapid Trigger" requires extremely precise processing due to its mechanism.

For that reason, it is said to be "difficult to stabilise its operation." However, after repeated technical testing, this switch has succeeded in stabilising the operation of the "Rapid Trigger."

It also boasts "incredible durability." A normal mechanical switch is considered extremely durable even with a durability of 100 million presses, but this switch can withstand an amazing 200 million presses! For fighting games where you press buttons hard and often, a switch that combines this stability and durability can be said to be the optimal solution.

"Support" to Further Improve Typing Feel

We insert supports between the buttons. This reduces the shaking of the buttons and improves stability and durability. * Please note that this "support" is not a "burr."

Pre-Press Buttons, 1.5mm Travel

The switch itself has a travel of 4mm. For faster triggering, Varmilo specially designed the keycaps. The total triggering travel is reduced to 1.5mm. Now they are quick, responsive, and rebound back quickly.

Varmilo Web Driver

Varmilo developed web drivers for its products, and the first product to use it was FK2.

All you have to do is put the controller into "PC mode", connect it to your PC, and access the website.

There's no need for troublesome tasks like "changing by button operation" or "installing special software."

Keys - How Many Buttons Do You Need?

We consulted with professional gamers and streamers with experience in fighting games to determine the number of buttons that would be suitable for any game.

One question that arose in Varmilo's mind was, "Is it enough to just add buttons to a conventional shape?"

To verify this, Varmilo actually developed a prototype and played it. Varmilo carefully considered, "What is the appropriate layout for this number of buttons?" and designed it for the fighting games of the future.

Mode - Suitable for Use in Competitions

Many fighting game tournaments are already in full swing. It is not difficult to predict that many more tournaments will be held in the future.

In particular, one thing that is strictly regulated in the rules of tournaments is the "processing of simultaneous presses (SOCD cleaner)." The VARMILO FK2 allows for more flexible settings than leverless controllers on the market, and allows you to set simultaneous presses of "up, down, left, right" individually. It can handle any game that is released now or in the future.

It also has a "Lock" function, which disables the "START button" and other buttons, preventing you from accidentally pressing the "START button" during a match and being disqualified.

Scenes - Lap or Desk

Of course, everyone's body shape is different, and so is the "optimum height" for a controller. If it's too high, it's "difficult to play on a desk," and if it's too low, "you have to lift your feet when you put it on your lap." Varmilo took both of these into consideration to come up with a height that perfectly balances the controller's usability. Also, it's not just the "height" that determines how easy it is to use a controller. If it's not heavy enough, it won't feel stable, and if it's not wide enough, you'll feel stressed while playing. Varmilo designed it without compromising on anything, including "ease of putting it on your lap, on a desk, and carrying it around."

Case - The "Case" is not Just for Carrying

With the increase in professional gamers traveling and going to game centres, and more recently offline competitions, the culture of carrying controllers is also taking root, isn't it? That's why Varmilo decided to include a special case with the VARMILO FK2. However, this is not just a case for storage; you can also place it under the controller to "adjust the height."

The Problem with Arcade Controllers: "Noise"

Compared to arcade controllers with levers, leverless controllers make less noise. However, by their very nature, fighting games involve hitting a lot of buttons repeatedly.

Even if you don't mind it, people around you may find it annoying, or the sound may reveal your strategy.

However, when it comes to "sound," keyboard manufacturers can really show their skills. Based on their development experience, the internal structure has been designed to be optimally quiet. They hope you enjoy the pleasant sound of the keys.
