Topic: Any Studiologic SL73 or SL88 Studio users here - is it triple sensor?

Hey everybody,
I have got the Studiologic SL73 Studio. First of all, a really nice board in the price range, with quite short key pivot though. While it is being marketed as triple sensor action, Studiologic says: "Each of the keys provides 3 contacts for superior performance", I could not feel any difference to standard two sensor board. So then I have opened the side panel and looked inside. What I see does not necessarily seem to be triple sensor action. I would rather say, you can see only 2 pressing pins coming out of the key to the rubber strip - what would suggest, there are rather two sensors inside. But I am not a Tech, so maybe someone with proper background here could clarify? Or are any other SL73/88 users around to check their boards for comparison? Is that action really triple sensor, and if yes where is the third one? See attached pictures and thanks for your thought about this.

PS. Btw. to make the mix complete, despite almost all sources (Manufacturer, Online retailers etc.) do write in the description it is triple sensor action, I have got one qualified, definite negative answer - meaning it is two sensor only action,  in an email from one of the biggest online retailers in EU.

Here's a video describing the SL88 Studio internals which I think uses the same setup (based on the TP/100LR).  There are three sensors in the SL88 Studio, but whether you consider that a good thing or bad after you see the video is a personal choice.

Yeah it definitely does (SL88 Studio here) try playing fast triplets on a single key and you'll get the idea! Two sensor keybeds cannot do it, unless a bit slower and your fingering has to be precise, very!
