Optical speed

Optical click detection leverages the speed of light for a virtually instant reaction time. Minimize latency, maximize reliability, and play your best.

Another benefit of optical is a longer switch life, since it does not wear like a typical mechanical-only switch.

Mechanical feel

Feel the exact moment of actuation with a total mechanical switch, including spring blade and contact plate. Definitive feedback that you feel and hear gives you confidence in your clicks.

Clicks you can trust

With ultrafast and precise optical actuation, debounce algorithms are no longer needed. LIGHTFORCE-equipped gaming mice achieve the highest levels of performance with advanced switch reliability and consistency.
