[@IamAbishek]

Tactile has always been my choice but I might switch to optical linear switches. They sound great.

[@Wolficefang]

This is the best explanation of key switches I've ever seen, regardless of brand. All the correct terminology, and an excessive amount of detail for each type of switch. For example, this is the first time I've really understood the differences between gen 1 and gen 2 Razer Optical Reds; most people just say something like "they removed the spring ping, and uhh I don't know what else". Regarding optical switches, I think a lot has to change before they can I will see them as "the future". The full size Razer huntsman is a $200 keyboard. Corsair's K100 is $250. A normal mechanical keyboard should cost between $100 and $150. The gaming brands need to get their prices under control. Replacing an optical switch is much harder than replacing a mx-style mechanical switch. MX is great because soldering them on and off the board is easy. Yes, the switch part of an optical switch is also easy to remove, but the actual light emitter and light sensor are difficult to replace. This leads into my next two points: There is no optical keyboard standard. You can't drop a Gateron optical switch into a Razer Optical keyboard or a Corsair OPT-X keyboard. If it works, it's a fluke. Sure, this only really matters for the enthusiast community, but I'm a member of that community so I'm biased towards this issue. And finally: Razer doesn't sell optical switches by themselves. It should be possible to upgrade a keyboard with gen 1 optical reds to gen 2 optical reds, but the only way to get the gen 2 switch is to buy a Razer Huntsman Mini. These issues aren't insurmountable, of course, and I understand that this is the way things have to be for now. But as long as we're looking towards "the future" of optical switches, I think it's safe to dream bigger than what we have now.

[@sporemaster97]

I'm aware this comment is 3 years old, but they do sell the switches on their own now, so your wishes have partially come true

Mecha mechanical ones are meh at best. Mechanical have been around for a while so they are just copies or barely revised switches. Opticals are the only new ones and are supposed to last and faster but it is not just a switch and there are more points for failure

[@quentoncollins8861]

@@Corei14 Optical switches have less points of failure. In fact the only hypothetical point of failure is the LED vs a mechanical switch requiring contact with the board. There's a reason optical technology has been used by the military - because the lifespan is far longer than Razer's advertised 100 million clicks. So long as the LED is working you're basically golden because of the frictionless application.

[@ProAvgeek6328]

the purple ones are tactile and click like the green mechanical switches? does red feel similar to yellow?

[@kanishkajayalath7510]

@@ProAvgeek6328 the reds are more sensitive than the yellow. The actuation distance is even lesser than a thin and light notebook's keyboard. But you get that satisfying key travel which makes it feel like a proper mechanical keyboard. Also the keys I have in the deathstalker V2 pro are the 2nd gen red optical keys. One thing about optical keys they have a longer life time than pure mechanical keys due to them not needing to hit anything to register a keystroke. Hope this answers your question.

[@ragmanx6256]

I'm really interested in that linear gen2 switch. I was never a fan of obnoxiously loud clicky switches, and even though I love the smoothness in most of the linear ones I've tried, the clackity clack bottom out noise is something I'd love to see mitigated more consistently across all brands. Being an optical switch makes it even more interesting, given my unfortunate experience with key chatter on various cherry MX boards despite my efforts to keep them clean. I like how more manufacturers are steering towards that optical tech, but I hope Razer's efforts to further sound dampening can also be reflected on the market as a whole. Silence is something that isn't catered enough in gaming boards, for some reason.

[@plball5737]

[@DGneoseeker1]

Why does nobody include regular old membrane keys in the sound comparisons? That's what a lot of us are considering changing from using... and the clicking is offputting because everything seems much louder.

[@dundun8323]

For clicky, I've had greens over and over and one set of orange. I like the greens a lot better than the oranges but again it's all preference, however there is a reason they got rid of the oranges, they were just not that good at typing (compared to the greens) and not that good at gaming(compared to the yellow), they were very mediocre overall. However at work I actually use yellows now because the greens I had were just too loud, the oranges just feel cheap to me, and when I was on the phones, I had every client commenting on my typing. Since switching over to the yellows, I still get the odd comment if I am really bottoming out but still, I've been won over. I have become so much more accurate bc of how sensitive they can be at first, especially coming from something so forgiving as the green, but I type like a bullet now, over 100wpm. I was always over 75wpm but hovered between 75-80 for years but within a couple days I was over 90 and within a week well over 100wpm ( I blame the razer green and mx cherry blue switches for plateauing me for so many years lol ). I am quite the anomaly though it seems because I I don't really care which I use, it really depends on what I'm doing. I didn't think I would like typing with yellows but like I said, it allowed me to actually hit the speeds I knew I could when typing and it also helped with my accuracy overall. I never get fatigue from using the yellow as I have from long days typing on any type of tactile bump switch. It feels satisfying but after some hours of typing, you wish you didn't have to always press passed to bump to register. Something to note that people like to mention: Just as fast as you can make a mistake on a yellow, you can delete it too, it's all relative in speed and correction. With tactile switches you are less likely to make a mistake but you still will and it'll take longer to type and longer to erase... Yellows are fast all around and actually very comfortable. I never got the hype on orange though, I had one and I sold it after they went out of stock. In my opinion, If you want clicky and tactile you go with Green or Purple or mxcherry blue, nothing else lol. If you want linear, you go with yellow or redv2. And then it's whatever you like more. My home computer will always be super annoying and clicky. Always lol but that's because I won't be typing for hours on end on it. For that I had to go linear. The redv1s weren't my thing but once I tried the yellow switches I haven't really looked back when it comes to work and typing sessions.

I've bought a hunstman v2 with linear red switches, It's soooo silent and feels incredible good. No hearing click when u are playing is amazing but i think razer synapse makes a trouble with icue software, i cant play with my mouse in wireless mode, it makes auto-clicks o it doesnt respond xd.

[@NerockArt]

Same as you. I am waiting for gen 2 on the Huntsman TKL

[@vincininja7736]

i wanted the gen2 switches for the razer huntsman te v2 but my dad said that those were on the huntsman te normal and i was kinda disapointed that i didnt get them but im happy i even got a keyboard :)

[@BravenTyler]

The Razer Ornata V2 has such a good sound for being the mecha-membrane Keyboard, and feel. I have to original Ornata, but its still very nice.

[@576turky]

i like Red and brown switches But man i hate when my teammates using blue is soooo annoying

[@IamPANDAMAN8]

Will the black analogue switches ever come to a keyboard? A Huntsman TE with black analogue switches will be amazing.

[@kams4883]

My favorite switches is: Razer green and the purple ones

[@CarthagoMike]

Nice glasses you have. Are they new? I don't think I've seen them before. But they look quite good!

[@rd9102]

I have used Green for many years but the board i am using broke last night (black widow elite) and the space bar is messed up. But i think i am going to get the Huntsman v2 and get the purple switches and see how it is. The software has never done much for me and i have never bothered with it but the Razer Keyboards are the best because they come with a great wrist rest for comfort. Great video, thanks for making it.

[@tharvinvettri198]

Getting something that is Razer branded is a fantasy for me. I don't even have to watch this video. But I will cuz I love everything about computers and the setups, uk wht I mean.

[@JKAHLE28]

I’m hoping to get a razer huntsman mini for Christmas and am very exited for the optical purple clicky switches.

[@augustinelim1985]

Guess I have to get the older Blackwidow Elite if I want a gaming keyboard with the orange switches.

[@peekay120]

The biggest thing I want to see from razer is putting an actual analog thmbstick on the tartarus, i've been using the tartarus style keypad since the beginning and the biggest flaw in the design for me is the lack of a proper analong thumbstick.

[@magicdirt55]

I just bought the razer blackwidow pro v3 wireless with the yellow keys I love it

[@LloydAnd]

The Blackwidow Lite was where I entered the game, orange switches, now on third Razer keyboard TE TKL after trying and failing to live with a 60% mini. Red gen 2 definitely best switch but I need my function keys in visual studio.

[@thekovkan]

Just found your channel. This video is just awesome! Very informative, visual, and well produced. This level of quality is really hard to find.

[@katasiapa]

Great intro, I like it XD.

[@alidamanpak3561]

Aaaahhhhhh , that purple switch, such comfortable sound.😍

[@21skullz22]

5:06 bro made a good point that came true

[@PureRushXevus]

9:00 I just want a good analog keyboard that works.. I regret not getting the isku fx force when it came out, would be awesome playing games where you can walk slower or control vehicles more gently

[@MrDeathknight1]

thank you for this video I was looking at a huntsman v2 purple

[@TheNickers69]

80million strokes I can’t believe that for the Ornata. It’s sounds pretty damn good tho.

[@Ahmmunition]

The B rolls and animations were soo SICK! 🔥

[@Spanky8402]

I didn't realize keyboards evolved this much. I guess this is what I get for not gaming on nothing but a Laptop for year because I was a over the road trucker. Now I have to start with maybe the green switch. At least that sounds like a good one. I almost bought a membrane one but now I don't know. I am used to a laptop keyboard, so anything would be better, probably.

[@TheCaniblcat]

Love my Razer Tartarus and Naga (less so my Trinity since is often loses connection with the side buttons, forcing me to remove, clean and reattach it). I would buy a Razer Keyboard, save that I wish the letters on the Keyboard were thicker and easier to read (I'm not a very good touch-typist). I wish they made the option of purchasing custom caps that could be designed by the user, offering different letter thicknesses, languages, etc.

[@CptApplestrudl]

Red opticals gen2 seem like they're for me. :) The analogues certainly are interesting too. I'm thinking LoL and hovering a key shows range indicator and pressing it fires a skill...at least in theory.^^ Practically speaking, I think analogues for arrow keys should be the best use and regular for the rest.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey {{3}}! I see you're interested in Razer keyboard switches. If you're looking to optimize your desktop setup, have you considered incorporating the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a compact, dual-function device that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities to keep your desk spotless. Check it out! 🖥💨

[@chadwickjetti8960]

A video awaited by everyone!

[@filonin2]

Who doesn't already have a keyboard?

[@filonin2]

@@kiavaxxaskew Better how? They all type. Only a streamer could care about the noise and you're not looking at a keyboard so it doesn't matter what it looks like.

[@filonin2]

@@kiavaxxaskew So? I typed this just the same as you did. The letters appear just as fast as I type them. You'd need a machine to tell the difference. If you think you need a faster keyboard you actually need more GG. This trend is lamer than shoe nerds.

[@filonin2]

@@kiavaxxaskew Butthurt much? Lol.

@@kiavaxxaskew If you don't want to answer why latency matters or how they are better in real life and my opinion doesn't matter to you, why are you having such a hissy fit? Don't reply and someone who does know and cares to answer will. Someone needs a changing.

[@terratenientesalgo2511]

i had cherry red, optical lineal, the other day i tried blue cliky and i ordered one as soon as i could, i work alone and i rarely use headphones, i want that feedback sound experience.

[@r0cket626]

you have a talent to drag a video 10 minutes more than normal lenght

[@Icerackett]

I currently use the Huntsman v2 with the purples, i kinda hate the clickyness but otherwise i love thw keyboard

[@Jus7here]

I orded it razer blackwidow yellow switches today, my current asus keyboard makes alot of noise and it became annoying. I really like the sound of those, really simple and clean.

[@robinbrother]

Great video Dmitry. I have fond memories of old "IBM" keyboards that were clicky, but I'm more a home gamer. Right now I have a Corsair K70 keyboard but I find I accidently keypress to often and I want a higher force activation keys. I'm probably too old to care about super fast response for FPS games. Those Gen 2 optical switches sound sweet, but I'm not a huge Razor fan, except for their mice.

[@ehern87]

Damn I am jealous of the changes to the optical reds as a Huntsman TE v1 owner 😭
