Enter the opto-mechanical switch. Mechanical gaming keyboards have soared in popularity, and with a vast number of players looking to secure their slice of this lucrative pie, manufacturers are having to think outside the box in order to stand out from the burgeoning crowd.

Corsair went all out with the feature-packed K95 RGB Platinum, Tesoro offered a thinner option in the form of the Gram XS, Asus moved the volume roller on the ROG Strix Flare, and Roccat's Horde Aimo attempted to find a middle ground between mechanical and membrane. Plenty of variation, and now Razer is hoping to go one better with the Huntsman Elite.
