The Wooting one (not capital one) is an optical analog mechanical gaming keyboard.
Let’s break that down.
Optical
Optical means that each switch key uses an infrared (IR) and sensor (PT) to detect input. There is no mechanical or physical connection between the switch and the PCB. We use Flaretech optical switches and this has several benefits.
Keyboard durability
There is no more metal contact between switch and keyboard, thus there is no corrosion or wear of material that can cause keychatter (i.e. unintended double input).
No debounce time
Regular mechanical switches vibrate a lot and can cause double input (keychatter). Debounce time is a small input delay until the signal is stable enough. Optical switches have no keychatter and need near zero debounce (0.03ms).
Hot swappable
You can take out and insert switches individually with a simple switch puller. A broken switch is not a broken keyboard anymore and
you’re not bound to a single switch type.
The IR/PT have a life cycle of 50,000 hours +/- 5000 hours. The Wooting one efficiently uses that lifetime, prolonging it to a factor of 6. That’s in total 300,000 hours, over 34 years of use. The IR/PT effectiveness doesn’t decrease until it’s in its final hours.
It’s still a mechanical keyboard. Meaning that it uses a traditional switch box system with stem and spring for press feedback. In fact, the switch stem and spring have the same specification as popular CherryMX switches. This means you can install any CherryMX compatible keycaps on the keyboard and replace the spring inside the switchbox with other aftermarket springs.
The Wooting one uses OEM profile ABS keycaps for backlight and UV-coating.
The keycap layout follows OEM standard size.
Furthermore, Flaretech will come out with more different type of switches in the future. At this moment there is only the Red and Blue flaretech switch. Both have a linear 55g to actuation press. The blue switch also has a slight tactile bump and click sound at the 1.8mm and another click on return.
