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.
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.
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.
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.
