Anyone have any thoughts / experience with the Wooting optical switch keyboards? I like the idea of having an optical WASD. When playing games on a keyboard, motion being a binary toggle is more jarring than when using a joystick.

I was worried about compatibility, but it seems like the Wooting can emulate a controller so it just requires the game to support simultaneous keyboard / joystick input.

My mechanical keyboard experience is fairly surface level so I don't think I'd go custom yet :) That's great to hear, though! I was thinking they were fairly expensive, but I guess that's the price you pay for high-quality optical switches.
