For someone like myself obsessed with low latency keyboards finding a budget one on Amazon is a difficult problem to solve. I personally don't care about RGB, and I want it a small form factor in order to give maximum flexibility when gaming (but not decreasing the key spacing like a few of the budget boards). Many of the budget keyboards on Amazon don't mention anything on latency and virtually never state what their polling rate is either. In my past experience of using an optical switch Dierya DK61E, despite it being advertised as 1000hz I experienced a noticeable amount of input lag which made strafing and competitive playing more difficult.Luckily I found this one which is hotswappable and offers good quality mechanical switches. In terms of input lag I found this one to completely solve the latency issues I had with my Dierya keyboard (you might want to update the Geeky keyboard's firmware though) and strafing was faster and more accurate than before - I believe that the input lag must be very low and I hope that they continue to prioritise this in their future firmwares and products.I tried the Speed Silver and Speed Yellow linear switches and they're both great for gaming. The physical resistance of the switch increases as you press down, unlike some (or maybe all?) optical linear switches (gateron speed yellow for example) which seem to immediately bottom out as soon as you pass a certain key-depress travel with the force suddenly disappearing. For me the behaviour I experienced on the optical Gateron Speed Yellow switch means that you lose some of the feedback you require for accurate strafing in movement-based games like CS GO. Therefore the Geeky switches are pretty great in my opinion. In terms of the two switches' smoothnesses, they're moderately smooth but not the smoothest I've tried either which does make them feel a little bit heavier than the actuation force advertised.The keyboard felt solid and the keycaps weren't overly slippery. The keys felt fairly stable as well and didn't wobble.Anyway, to conclude, it's definitely a great product at the budget price point and I hope to see Geeky branch out into hall effect switches.
