When i first started using my huntsman tournament edition I reacted to everything far too quickly based off predetermined presses as I was used to mechamembrane switches but after you get used to it it is an absolute beast and the response in-game is the best I've seen! love the red optical switches!

The sweet clicks of the purple switch is like music to my ears, indicating the immediate response of the razer clout reputation :)

The orange and red switches are my personal favorite. I just like the sound. Clicky switches used to be my type, but idk they just kinda grew out on me.

I have never in my life understood asmr until witnessing that red switch test.

ok for people who want to know how long does the Clicky Optical Switch lasts, I did research and took only like 10 minutes, there are 2.6 million keystrokes in a year, so if you multiply, 2.6x38.5 it is 100.1 keystrokes and so that means it will take 38 years if am correct to stop working :) and I will do Razer Green

I really like my Green switches with O-Rings installed

Can you measure the decibels of the sound test. so we can have an idea of how much louder or quieter the switches are.

I just got my Linear Optical Hunstman and I'm really happy with the feel performance. After being burned on several corsair keyboards using MX Speed switches, which all started showing key chatter, I held out for optical switches from Razer. The clicky optical mechanical were really loud for my taste. These are clicky when bottomed out, but really on par with other MX Red\Speed switches.

Love my purple switches. Red would probably be my 2nd pick.

I've stuck to the Huntsman TE for a long time now. The Red Linear Optical Switches not only are in my opinion more quiet and responsive, but they're better for longer gaming sessions(Destiny 2 raids for example). I can play for hours with those linear optical switches and my wrists won't hurt.

Who else slowly waiting for a tactile opto mechanical switch?

And then there's me still using a membrane Only me? Ok...

4:40 isn't that the sound of mr crab in spongebob walking 😂

Thanks for putting all these out there. I just went through all your videos on Razer's current keyboard offerings to help me make a decision. Excellent detail. Great work.

I've had MX blue and brown. I now have the Razer Yellow and they are my favorite. No resistance and quick response, no clicky sound.
