The key switch uses Razer 2nd generation linear optical switch and Razer clicky optical switch.The optical switch is a mechanism in which the light passes through the switch stem when the key is pressed, and the key works.The advantage is that the operating distance is short and the operating power is light.There is also an advantage that "debutable delay", which cannot be avoided due to structural mechanical switches, does not exist in optical switches operating with optical technology.
