Fundamentally these are optical switches, which have particular qualities and benefits (see a basic rundown here [keychron.com]). The real gold-standard in optical switches are analog models, which offer wild new functionality like programmable actuation height or operation more akin to an analog game controller.

Of course, there are mechanical elements to make that click, and these should functionally make Razer optical purple switches feel like mechanical switches. However, consider that they're not exactly the same kind of device so truly distinguishing mechanical keyboard users might feel and dislike the distinction.

Good luck!

This would be a killer travel companion to slip into a backpack alongside your laptop, mouse, and portable stand (to lift the laptop display). The primary use case I had when packing this combo was for school, and my laptop stand was a fold-flat, one-step stool (similar option here [homedepot.com]).

These purple switches [razer.com] are intended to be loud, like a Cherry MX Blue [cherry.de], but have some properties that might be more comparable to a Cherry MX Brown [cherry.de]. Ultimately these are intended for typists more than gamers, despite the marketing. And if you are packing these for school be forewarned that your professor/librarian/study companions might have opinions about the sound.

Good luck!
Jon

Amazon product description says it's mechanical, but then everything else says it's "optical". Is this better than mechanical switches… ?

Looks like lowest ever price per 3C. Not bad, I'll try the 60% and see how it feels. TY OP

Spot on! I'd also echo that the keytravel on the optical switches for the huntsman is fairly short- noticeably shorter than other keyboards. I had a "yellow optical switch" huntsman and it was too light for me, which I love a lighter board- but I'm a topre/mx black enjoyer so I mash some keys. For gaming this thing likely rocks hard. I also couldn't "tell" that it wasn't mechanical. Felt mechanical and actuated like a mechanical, but it was shallow almost like a laptop.

I'd skip razer keyboards because of the eventual double typing in less than 1 year. I use logitech now

I have this keyboard. I absolutely despise it and haven't had the heart to replace it since I paid full price for it. RGB stopped working a couple weeks after I bought it.

I wanted the minimalist look but it's actually really annoying for many intents and purposes. No F-keys and even alt+ctl+del is extra key presses fyi.

I'm in the same boat lol, cant justify getting rid of it just yet, but damn the layout gets to me. I should have gone with a TKL probably... shrug

Yep, most people would be better off with either a 75% or TKL layout.

I believe the 'Linear Optical' version of this keyboard is what you're looking for.

I'm typing on it right now (owned it for about 2.5 years).

Very tempting, but I really prefer an 80% keyboard with the extra dedicated keys.

Is there a compelling argument to buy this instead of plenty other similar prices keyboard that most likely are also wireless?

I have this keyboard but it's the special edition with white keycaps and linear switches. The special edition also comes with a coiled cable and sound dampening foam installed. Amazing keyboard and am using it now. I like 60% keyboards because of it's compact nature. Regular full size keyboards look like archaic behemoths to me.
