The MK850 keyboard from Cooler Master is a new high-end slash premium keyboard series with Cherry MX RED RGB keys. The MK850, however, has something that the competition does not, a set of analog keys which we have previously only seen with the Wooting series.

That analog key function actually sounds f’ing awesome. Hope we see more of it. Good review.

Hmm, the analog keys sound like an interesting idea. It's something that I'd like to try out first, but if other manufacturers get on board, the implementation may get more polished as time goes on.

Not something that I would buy, however, an interesting read. Thank you @Hilbert Hagedoorn

It's something that has been needed for years. All functions via a keyboard boil down to on/off and require either toggles or a bunch of tapping. Analog functionality finally modernizes keyboard gaming. The mouse has always been the huge advantage to KB/M gaming and it's nice that some more manufacturers are starting to realize that. Hopefully it gets some additional support and buy-in.
