Normally, these keyboards have been going for $79 dollars. They are relatively hard to find.
HK gaming has one for $79 dollar, which was the only vendor originally had these at 59 but after fortnite endorsements, it shot up to $84 and has been consistently been OOS or having a couple week to fulfill.
Dierya recently released their version and competed at the same price for the last week, this is the first major drop.
Pricing may continue to get better over the season as more stock comes in, but the base price for this switch would probably settle around 55 dollars. So I think this is a good deal relative to current pricing, and about what you should pay normally if there wasn't such a high demand.
I've been waiting for this drop for about 3 months, so I'm going to grab one now.
endorsed by several streamers as the "fastest" switch. You can build your own but somewhat expensive.
There is a clippable 15 dollar coupon for yellows and silvers (making silvers even cheaper)
The regular colors, black, red, brown, blue are at 44.49. (they only have a 5 dollar coupon).

this is 99 dollars, mouse is probably worth around 40. keyboard at 60 makes this good as well.
mouse is RGB with 63 gms weight which is "okay" for ultralights, you cna get low 50's without rgb, coolermaster mm710. this also has a good "perfect" laser I think it comes with 3360s
I am getting 2 pairs of these for my daughters actually since they like white and the purple mouse. We are a gamer family lol.

I think that physiologically, it's impactful for anyone that is playing competitively under the age of 30 or so.
Keep in mind that fast twitch response is as fast as 10 ms, so anything that is above that with regards to response times / debounce issues is infact going to affect gameplay.
There's some other stuff about muscle memory and fast response over at blurblusters that show that faster is always going to make a difference, whether or not it's a big one, is altogether a different issue.

If you could link that, that would be helpful - unless you were looking for the other switches in particular.

This keyboard is hot swappable meaning you can swap the switches for any other Optical switch by gateron, but not the regular mechanical gateron switch which requires a different 5 pin mounting. However the optical switches have a wide variety of options available. Yellow seems to be the most popular for it's quick response in gaming. Reds typically fair better for typing.
