Light Strike Optical Switch - The Science of the Competitive Edge
Mechanical switches are from the 80's. It's time to upgrade to the bleeding-edge with Light Strike (LK) optical switch technology.
Exclusive switch design blends the speed and precision of award-winning optical technology with a stabilized, premium key feel to withstand the toughest battles.
- Tap into the future with the all fastest key response and true 1:1 raw input with precision handling
- Continuous optical beam delivers zero-latency and contact-free engineering
- Available in tactile, clicky (Orange) and smooth, linear (Brown) switches
Why Light Strike?
Gamers and eSports pros count on Light Strike (LK) to help shave crucial milliseconds of latency, making all the difference between victory and defeat on the competitive stage.
Light Strike optical switches focus on speed, giving pros a definitive advantage by truly being one step ahead of their opponent.
- Calibrated Precision, 1.5mm Actuation, Less Key Chatter
- Zero Lag, 1:1 Raw Input
- 25% Faster Response than Traditional Mechanical Switches
New LK Libra - Raising the Bar at Light Speed
Libra reinforces all keys with a stabilizing bar for tighter control and a premium, uniform key feel. The improved, calculated shallow stroke increases the reactive return rate of keys, eliminating wasted key travel and finger fatigue.
Why Optical? Definitive Durability.
Optical sensors are completely digital, freeing them from mechanical failures (metal friction, liquid spills, or oxidization) and to be actuated with extreme precision.
Light Strike optical switches are even designed to outlast the competition with over 100 million keystrokes - that's a 66.6% (repeating, of course) increase in lifespan over current mechanical switches.
- LIGHTNING FAST: Optic Switch technology gives you a true competitive edge with optical detection for keys that react at light speed. The continuous optical beam delivers zero-latency, with a 0.2ms response time versus the 30ms of mechanical. Each key is full NKRO and engineered with a calculated shallow stroke. This ensures each keypress can register simultaneously regardless of how many keys are pressed at a time, while also increasing active return rate and decreasing finger fatigue.
- BATTLE TESTED DURABILITY: The LK Libra is manufactured with weapons-grade anodized aluminum, providing a lightweight frame that is smudge- and fingerprint-resistant. This keyboard has been engineered to withstand over 100 million keystrokes per switch, with a stabilizing bar that reinforces every key for tighter control and a premium, uniform key feel. With features that resist oxidation, water damage, spills, and intense gaming, you and your gear will be able to outlast the competition!
- WATER RESISTANT & DIGITAL SENSORS: Engineered with nanocoating, a water-resistant barrier, and strategic drainage holes, this keyboard is well designed to ensure you're never out of the fight when accidents happen. The optical sensors are completely digital, freeing them from mechanical failures caused by metal friction, liquid spills, oxidization, and more. These sensors ensure extreme precision actuation and true 1:1 raw input.
- RGB BACKLIGHTING EFFECTS: Switch between 3 default RGB LED backlighting animations or download our exclusive software for 16.8 million customizable color options and schemes. Change the color and effect to match battle intensity during game play or to represent your squad, guild, or clan. Our intuitive design incorporates easily adjustable dimming or brightening options so it won't distract from your gaming experience.
- ERGONOMIC DESIGN: This gaming keyboard has a detachable ergonomic wrist rest and additional keys that are comfortably within reach for crucial bindings and macros. The design is ideal for strenuous gaming sessions as it helps to reduce long-term shoulder strain by allowing more neutral mouse and keyboard positioning. The wrist rest comes with two swappable wrist rest faceplates in black and red, and has been engineered to deliver total comfort and quick, convenient stowing and portability.
