The Titan Switch Optical actuates by light. Imagine a beam on either side of the switch aiming from left to right. The beam is blocked by switch, but as soon as your keystroke reaches the actuation point, the beam passes through a channel in the stem of the switch to reach the other side. The switch instantly recognizes the actuation and sends the signal to your computer. Our firmware is optimized to recognize the actuation with unprecedented accuracy and with zero delay.

The signature keystroke feel of a quality mechanical switch has been desired by generations of gamers. In engineering an optical switch that pushed the boundaries of speed, precision and durability, our goal was to retain that mechanical feel. We wanted to give gamers a new level of performance that already felt familiar. With Linear and Tactile variants, you can experience the lightning-fast Titan Switch Optical with the switch feedback that suits you.

Traditional mechanical switches feature a lot of moving parts. They actuate by making a physical contact. Over time, and with aggressive gaming styles involving rapid presses, wear and tear can take its toll. The Titan Switch Optical has virtually no moving parts. In fact, the main moving part is you pressing the key down! That means switches are far better placed to withstand whatever you throw at them and are tested to an incredible 100 million keystrokes.
