INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The hybridized key switches gains the speed of a laser-based optical system while still maintaining the clicky, tactile feel of a mechanical
key.While we were blown away by the technology in our recent review of the Huntsman Elite, we wanted the full backstory of the how the
Optomechanical switch came to be
We caught up with Razer's Hilmar Hahn, Associate Director of Core Peripheral Product Marketing, and VJin Cheng, Associate Manager of Product
Marketing, to tell us everything about the Huntsman Elite and its revolutionary key switches.Hahn, surprisingly, reveals that the
"Razer only launches product when we feel it's actually ready, so we pushed this back multiple times just to make sure that we get it right

This core team consisted of product developers, industrial design, software developers, firmware programmers, plus mechanical and electrical
miles-per-second speed that is exponentially faster than an electric current.Aside from giving users a much, much faster response rate,

Huntsman Elite is that it requires two USB ports at all times to operate

Then 38 are lighting points around the keyboard itself to add an underglow and then another 24 points on the wrist rest as well, totaling up
to 168.There is a saving grace here, as Chen and Hahn see the possibility of future accessories
