Razer introduces its first gaming laptop to sport its innovative optical switches on the Razer Blade 15 gaming laptop’s keyboard. In 2016, Razer was the first to introduce low-profile mechanical switches to its gaming laptops. Today, Razer continues its leadership in being the first to use new and innovative technologies into its gaming laptop line-up with the super-fast and super-accurate optical switches. The Razer Blade 15 will sport the same low-profile keyboard which is now further enhanced for near-instant actuation, rapid-fire inputs, and satisfying tactile feedback.
Optical Switches: Power of the Speed of Light
The Razer Optical Switches was first used in Razer’s gaming keyboard lineup with the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition keyboard being the latest addition. The optical switches on the Razer Blade 15 offer greater precision and speed compared to conventional laptop keyboards. It has an actuation point of only 1mm at 55g of actuation force with 50% more travel, allowing players to input more commands in less time. The optical switches come with a satisfying mechanical tactile feedback that most love about mechanical switches. The new keyboard with optical switches offers superior typing experience for gaming, productivity, and casual use. Watch the introduction video about the Razer Optical Switch below.
