We deftly dispatch a few more screws and the dual-stage triggers come along for a ride.

Much to our surprise they simply slot into the motherboard. No adhesive nor mechanical tricks here!

The dual-stage trigger can be broken down into two stages:

The first is the smooth motion of the trigger when initially pressed. The magnetic flux sensor measures the position and speed of the trigger based on a time-varying flux.

The second part is the click at the end where the trigger physically presses a button on the motherboard.

Boom, headshot.
