I think I need to read more into the way that these switches they use work. I definitely can see 3-4 frames being a big deal in situations. I'm not great at competative stuff where it really matters so it's not something I super focus on.
This is the important difference: https://wooting.io/rapid-trigger
When you lift, to any amount, it is "off". You can then press back in to be "on". It's very very noticeable.
You know how with a joystick if you press all the way left and then press all the way right there's all the space in between? Compared with pressing ADADADAD for strafing, a keyboard is just better for strafing than a joystick is in this regard because there's less input time between moving the joystick left/right/left/right.
Well for me this different between lifting a key and pressing it again is the same. You're removing all the time in lifting the key before pressing it again, which sounds like a minor optimisation on paper but in practice you feel it a lot.
I think this video explains very well: https://youtu.be/BSlKt7m7xXk
Ok, I think I misunderstood what rapid trigger was. My bad, sorry lol. I'd have to play around on a keyboard to get the feel for it. If I am reading it correctly, the switches aren't really drop in replacements for other MX based boards.
This makes sense. I'd like to compare them sometime but donno if money will ever dictate that. I literally can't type on a row stagger board anymore so It'd have to be the switches in a home built board. Gonna keep them in mind for if I ever get to making my gaming pad.
