Deep dives and comparisons of mechanical and optical switch types, actuation force, travel, and response characteristics, with guidance by gaming genre.
Choose linear switches for FPS: they deliver faster, more consistent inputs with less fatigue, and silent variants cut noise without sacrificing speed. Learn how to pick light or silent linears and sidestep marketing-driven tactile options that hurt performance.
Match your switch to your hand mechanics - not just speed - to boost precision and reduce fatigue in FPS and MMO sessions. Get clear guidance on actuation, force, and ergonomics with genre-based recommendations.
Understand the real factors behind input delay - from debounce and polling to reset speed - and where optical switches outperform mechanical for competitive FPS. Use scenario-driven guidance and setup tips to choose the right switch and tune a consistent, tournament-ready board.
Skip the switch hype: learn why actuation force rarely moves the needle and invest instead in consistency, travel distance, and build tuning for measurable gains. Use genre-specific switch ranges and a simple testing plan to find your personal sweet spot without overspending.
