Switches play a critical part in the billion-dollar esports industry
Summary
For gaming joysticks, controllers and mice, the switches within need to offer long life, a clear click confirming actuation, durability and reliable performance. Omron micro-switches like the D2FC offer a superior feeling and reaction without compromising quality or durability and are therefore widely used in high-end mouse, joystick and controller designs. Azeron chose the D2F because of its sophisticated snap action mechanism constructed with two highly precise split springs to ensure a long and reliable service life. Commenting, Imants Daigins, Product Designer and Founder of Azeron, said, “We have received universally good feedback on the switches since we standardised them in 2020, so decided to continue to use them in the Cyborg, our most versatile and flexible ever keypad. Azeron designers seek to provide users with a smooth travel, maintaining the same level of resistance throughout the movement of the key, with a nice crisp click to confirm operation.
