This is my very first keyboard with a mechanical mechanism. And after that, I don't think I'll ever want to utilize the membrane again))) Klava is a bomb! You will not be sorry that you took it, especially considering that it is one of the more cost-effective options. Regarding optical switches, I can confirm that the operation of everything is immediate. When compared to the membrane, typing text is a delight, as is the case with gaming, where the difference can also be experienced in a favorable light.
