The opto-mechanical key switches are simply lovely,
It looks like a nerdy greasy gamer keyboard, They're a new breed of switches Razer calls opto-mechanical. Mechanical because these are, at their core, mechanical switches—specifically a clicky kind reminiscent of the Cherry Blue or Alps switch. That means
