Optical switches only. Limited compatibility.

Finally coming down in price, this was hovering at 79.99 for a while.

optical yellows, have the lowest resistance and this would be considered a "fast" keyboard for gamers.

Multiple youtube videos on it, endorsed by some pro gamers as well.

I have another version of it from Dierya (poo poo), which I was able to get for about 45 dollars with a sale and stacking coupon.

That being said, this was the first keyboard, I expected the price to come down to 59.99 base which is where all the other switches are generally at once the hype on the yellows died.

So this is a good deal relative to 79.99.

other "fast" optical options is they keychron k3 with optical swap white switches (but never in stock). RGB version I think is 84.99 but it's also 75% jkeyboard (Which I prefer)

Of course you coudl go double and triple the cost and hit the corsair or steel series pro stuff which actuate at 1.1 mm.

Bargain wise this is good relative to other options.

Logitech has no optical switch options.

There are red switch opticals available with Monoprices aether brand, Razer, Bloody, and a few others but yellows with 35 cn equivalent don't exist.

Of course figuring in form factor, if that's more important really limits options with equivalent switches.

For typers/business/work/school, I would avoid as most say too many typos since the keys are too sensitive.

Thumbs up.

Love those optical yellows for gaming. I got the same Dierya's and have been using them as my daily driver. To this day, I still make tons of spelling mistakes but perfect for gaming.

Looks like the Gateron whites are the non optical equivalent. Any idea where can I get those for cheap?

Not sure if you mean just the switches, or a whole keyboard, but if the latter, probably the easiest/cheapest way is to get something GK61S(or XS - if you want bluetooth)/GK64S(orXS) - barebones or with any switches,

https://www.amazon.com/EPOMAKER-Hotswap-Keyboard-Spacebar-Mounting/dp/B0893YXHG2/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1... [amazon.com]
https://www.amazon.com/EPOMAKER-GK64XS-Swappable-Mechanical-Programmable/dp/B08BZSFJS7/ref=sr_1_2?dc... [amazon.com]

(Or a Womier K66, or something similar)

And then get some Gateron clears (some sellers call them white, some call the clear) on the side. - should be easy to find, probably looking for 15-20 USD for 70 switches

eg: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3...75936943.3


If you get barebones, you'll need to get keycaps as well, so probably easier to get with switches and caps, and just change the switches. (might be able to make a few bucks flipping them even...)
