Like everything else taught, players have had to do the same, reaching higher and higher limits, so that they can always ask manufacturers to support parts that can make a difference in front of their competitors.
One of the first to respond to these needs and after years of study and R&D has been Razer, who has developed a response time for each transition using light technology.
Razer Opto-me light switch: the future is here
We talked a lot about new keyboards and digital switches, where each manufacturer has chosen the exact same route as the other. In the case of Razer, the curious thing about his research has been the fact that he does not want to dispose of such exchanges, but at the same time he contributes much to the list, which he receives a great deal milliseconds
Unlike other optical switches, Razer has leveraged its technology at a low activation level to detect the beat signal. Unlike the usual mechanical switches found in the high-end keyboard market, optical switches do not work with metal connections when pressed, but activations occur because of light.
The functionality is quite simple: the traditional switch design is maintained with a U-shaped clip that holds the upper part of the switch as a stabilizer, the lower spring giving a familiar feel of the Razer switch is retained, but instead of getting an activation point below it, which puts it in line to the switch.
The said beam of light is placed on one side of the switch, so that when pressed it acts like a mirror so that the light does not penetrate. When the key is pressed the light bulb passes instantly through the stem switch, it achieves key performance and sends a digital signal to the PC.
Maximum durability, balance on each key and maximum performance on each machine
By getting a few moving parts and by collision or wear, Razer was able to increase the resistance of each swap to duplicate what they had in the market with their traditional swap. So, it's off 50 million keys to him 100 million
The stability bar also helps make the accessibility more uniform, but Razer also guarantees that we will have to make the same power on each pump thanks to the versatility of each switch.
This avoids pulsation errors or delays in it, since the switch will react in the same way. Razer currently offers two different types of Opto Mechanical switches: Clicker and Linear.
Type click it comes in purple for the performance alone 1.5 mm and you will need to 45 grams of driving force. On the other hand, the replacement Line they just came in red 1 mm operating range and driving capabilities only 40 grams.
The belts of traditional traditional switches are gone
Razer is currently incorporating this change into its Huntsman key, but the new product lines that will be launching from next year make us learn that we are at the beginning of a change, which should gradually as the general public sees and tests the benefits of this new switch system.
Of course, both types of change involve a system RGB is compatible with Chroma, where the system was upgraded due to changes made by these changes to Opto Mechanical.
