I just switched to my bros 2k2 cnc angel lcd yesterday after the power button on my eblade wore out. I must say I like it when the trigger registers every pull I make on it. Microswitches don't need trigger filters that sometimes skip a pull. I guess I just have my trigger setup all wrong. If I get my magnetic trigger eblade working again, I am going to do some tinkering. I must not of adjusted well enough.

magno-optic will always be my preference.

i just h8 the pulls on my spyder, and my friend's classic timmy...

and i <3'd it when i tried out the eblade frame's trigger.

Neither. HES. Then again, my opinion is severely bias by my love of E-mags...

Though a Hall effect sensor will not skip shots like magnoptic, but it will give an almost identical feel.

Only problem is limits on the trigger pull length. It can't be too short. Though it can be more than short enough. An E-mag's trigger pull can be set as low as .35mm. Any shorter, or even at that length the pull is just ridiculously short.

depends on how each is adjusted and individual settings and variables for the trigger/frames but magnoptic is generally smoother and nicer feeling... Does it really matter thogh? I don't care much, I can walk both equally as fast but a micro switch more consistantly ...

Basically a different name for magno-optic :yawn: ...

Magnoptic has an eye, like a revy. The back of the trigger extends into the frame, and every time it cross the path of the eye, the gun fires.

With an HES, it sets off the gun when the magnet in the trigger is within detecton range.

I fail to see the similarity, other than both use magnets for resistance.

How about this: You lazy bums get a manually operated sear/trigger assembly! :rolleyes:

HES sounds better to me...
