True gaming keyboards have
mechanical switches which activate on first key press, not on full key down. Bit disappointed no mechanical keyboard was tested as they are perceived to be the ultimate keyboards when speed matters.
- dom0 9y ago> which activate on first key press No, mechanical keys have some travel before actuation as well.
- mhweaver 9y agoI see several mechanical keyboards in the list (das, ergodox, kinesis advantage, olkb planck, possibly others)

- eikenberry 9y agoMechanical key switching activate differently based on the switch. Most with feedback activate on the feedback, ie. when you hear/feel the click. So it isn't first press or full key down, but somewhere in the middle.
- vith 9y agoThe most common key switch for gaming oriented mechanical keyboards is probably the Cherry MX Red. Its actuation point is around 50% of the way through the key travel. Buckling spring switches, membrane domes, topre (membrane dome + spring), etc. all have actuation points somewhere in the middle of the key travel, not at the start or end.
