Anyone have any thoughts / experience with the Wooting optical switch keyboards? I like the idea of having an optical WASD. When playing games on a keyboard, motion being a binary toggle is more jarring than when using a joystick.

I was worried about compatibility, but it seems like the Wooting can emulate a controller so it just requires the game to support simultaneous keyboard / joystick input.

    Yeah, I can imagine it being incredible for racing games. I guess most racing games all allow simultaneous kb/joystick?

    Are there any unexpected benefits you found of the optical switch vs. the classic mechanical switches?

      Yes, they do. Didn’t see any specific game which does not - especially since I used a similar setup with my Steam Controller, which did keyboard, mouse and analog controller input.

      It also works with non-specific analog I out games, like GTA V.
