Among all the innovations that can be found in the field of peripherals there are keyboards, and one of the most advanced technologies in this type of device is the switches, which allow us to choose more precisely what we really need. This time, Razer presented his new switches improved, the second version of its switches optical which come with various improvements that increase durability and customization compared to their previous generation.
In the IT sector we can find companies specifically dedicated to the development of high-end peripherals, Razer It is one of those companies that always seeks to offer the highest quality in these devices, being one of the brands most used in general by gamers. And this is mainly due to the reliability and quality that their products are able to offer, in addition to being devices capable of offering extremely high performance in most cases.
What improvements do these switches bring?
In general we can think that there is not too big a difference between a version of switches and another, but this is usually a very common failure, since obviously there are big differences due to the improvements implemented in all technical aspects. The improvement they include is related to customizable actuation, a feature that we only find in high-end keyboards and which allows us to change the sensitivity of the keys of this device as we wish.
And in the case of the new generation of switches which was presented Razerthis improvement allows users of keyboards integrating this type of switches modify between 0.1 and 4.00 mm the drive that we mentioned previously. In short, this allows the trigger to be reset practically immediately when the key is pressed, that is, if we configure it to a minimum, the keys will have great sensitivity that will allow us to activate them much faster .
On the other hand, there is also an improvement for games that are extremely fast and require a device capable of keeping up with them with the lowest possible latency, since these switches They have a reduced latency of just 1.7 milliseconds.
These are the keyboards that these Razer switches will integrate
Not all keyboards Razer integrate this type of switches, so if we want one of this type we will have to opt for a specific version of the peripherals offered by this brand. Initially, these switches were introduced with the one-handed keyboard they developed, the Razer Tartarus Pro, which offers much greater comfort thanks to the ease of use as well as the large number of programmable keys it has and of course, thanks to the switches What integrates.
But leaving aside the first keyboard Razer which included these switchesthose who integrate the new switches The improved ones are the Huntsman V3 Pro, a series of keyboards that can be found in all formats, full size, TKL and 60%. Although as always, it is possible that the biggest problem is in the price, since these keyboards all exceed $200, with the full-size keyboard costing almost $300.
