HP recently added a new keyboard to its roster of OMEN gaming products, and it’s dubbed the Sequencer (See it on Amazon). The big deal here is that the Sequencer has optical switches, which registers a keystroke when a light beam at the base of the switch is broken, making it theoretically “faster” than a mechanical switch, with “speed you can feel” according to HP. If you recall, this is the same type of switch found in the recently released Razer Hunstman Elite, and Bloody offers them as well. Do these special switches really offer a competitive edge? Let’s dive in and find out.
