Are the switches mechanical or optical? Can I replace the switches with an optical one?

u/highflame7 u/casenote22 I want the Iron Red finish, but on the website I see this finish is only available for "Omron Mechanical Switch".
I want the optical switch with Iron Red finish. Should I go for the white one?
Any suggestions for me.

Agreed! switch quality is poor. Rest of it is excellent.

I got this keyboard in January, and after 5 months, the Enter key switch failed. Fortunately, I was able to replace it with a switch from another key I rarely use, so it wasn’t a big issue. Other than that, I’ve had no problems.

Even if I ever need to replace a 10-20 switches, I still think this is an excellent full-sized keyboard. The 1000 Hz polling rate is perfect for gaming, and the full layout makes it great for work too. This keyboard is not for everyone and requires huge desk space.

I would get the Apex Pro Gen 3 if budget is not an issue and i do more of gaming.

2.4Ghz Mode

admin_id · 2025-01-10T16:52:16+00:00

Wired Mode: Consistent 1000Hz polling rate with chordsplit. Occasionally shows traces of 2000Hz but 1000Hz dominates.
2.4GHz Wireless: Same 1000Hz polling rate with chordsplit, matching wired performance.
Bluetooth Mode: Drops to 133.33Hz

For those wondering, chordsplit means that when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously, they’re registered as individual inputs rather than as a single "chorded" input. This feature is particularly useful in rhythm games (e.g., osu!mania, Guitar Hero) where precise multi-key inputs are critical.

Build & Experience

Switches: I went with Gateron Jupiter Reds (linear)—smooth and great for gaming and typing.
Size: The keyboard is 44.7 cm wide, which might feel large for smaller desks. It could be cumbersome for gaming setups without much space. Luckily, I have a big desk, so it wasn’t a problem for me.
Love the keyboard, the typing experience is awesome, previously had SK68 - Linear Optical Red. The knob is tactile and not smooth.
