This is an overview of the analog keyswitch version of the keyboard.

I bought a Switch analog keyboard to replace my clicky version of the same keyboard as I've been waiting for a Razer Switch analog keyboard for a long time. Unfortunately, the game is full of bugs that need to be fixed. This is a relatively new keyboard, so I believe any bugs I'm reporting are in the process of being fixed. Overall, this is what we've come to expect from Razer. Quality for gamers, a bit overpriced for what it is but does the job. Advantages: analog switch! Being able to use my keyboard as a controller has been a dream for a long time and it works exactly as it is intended. They are quick and fast when they work as intended. Sound! Switches don't click because they weren't designed to. In this respect he is much better. Synced with the rest of my lighting. It is very important for every player not to have incompatible software that is not synchronized with each other. Bad: The Razer software is terrible. Crashes, and quite a bit of time doesn't start at all. For some reason the analog version of the keyboard completely breaks down when you have macros set up and the software doesn't start properly, which it does 90% of the time. It will think hyperkey macros are just regular keys with no software running, making text entry impossible. That wasn't a problem with my old hunter, even with macros. The keys hit the bottom of the keyboard and make a clicking sound. As long as the keys themselves don't click, the keyboard does. They also make an audible sound when returning under their own power, which can also be loud. If I were to suggest Razer, I would add a rubber pad or other material to reduce clicking. I've had several teammates complain about it during games. Delays in games result in sticky keys. My guess is that due to the lasers they use to check the position of the keys and not a simple on/off switch, it is interfering and not knowing what position it will be in when the keyboard lags. That means if you press forward and the game lags, when you stop pressing forward you can keep moving forward.
