Been looking at picking up a new production/typing keyboard since I use 10keyless for extra mouse room and better wrist positioning. While looking at options came across a brand called Bloody that have mechanical keyboards that move the keypad to the left (link here), which would be really nice because I'm left hand dominant anyways.
I noticed that they use optical key switches, which seems neat enough; pressing the key down to the actuation point lets an IR beam hit a sensor, pressing the key, and they have some that have tactile or aural feedback like a romer G or blue switch respectively. Additionally, Razer just announced 2 new keyboards that also use optical switches, opting for an equivalent to bloody TK-Light Blue typed switches (tactile+aural feedback on an optical switch) called the Razer Huntsman (they have an elite version that just adds more lighting and a wristpad).
Was wondering if anyone on TFTV has owned or gotten a chance to use a keyboard with optical switches, and their experiences (gaming, typing, sturdiness/longevity, etc). I know there's a few keyboard nerds on here and was looking for a second opinion, as I've used most of the standard gaming switches (cherry reds, browns, and blues, and Romer Gs) and maybe looking for something new to try out
