Roccat launches Their Own Mechanical Keyboard Switch -Titan
ROCCAT is proud to announce its first self-developed switch: the Titan Switch, the first mechanical switch designed in-house in cooperation with TTC, a leading manufacturer in its field.
The Titan Switch Tactile is the perfect synthesis of competitive speed, first-class typing feel and striking aesthetics. ROCCAT’s challenge was to make a more responsive and swift switch. The first step was to reduce the actuation point from 2 to 1.8 mm, keeping in focus the quality feel of the key stroke. In addition, the switch bouncing time was reduced by 20%, this was achieved by optimizing the ROCCAT firmware working in conjunction with high-quality components, therefore securing the stability of the switch. The crisp, tactile pressure point paired with solid precision and high reaction speed ensures an excellent typing feel.
To top it all off, design also played a decisive role in the development of the Titan Switch Tactile, a world premiere in this area. The transparent housing in combination with reduced, ultra-light key caps not only allow insights into the mechanics of the switch, but also becomes the perfect companion for the ROCCAT AIMO lighting system. Each switch contains a long-life multicolor LED for impressive lighting scenarios in a range of 16.8 million colors. The result is a powerfully balanced switch - precise, responsive, and comfortable.

inb4 patent-war going to start soon in this mechanical switch
wonder if this new switch people making now improved much over original cherry mx switch
other than actuation-point to give faster response in gaming
i still think many pro-typist / coders will stay with hhkb/realforce-topre
even say latest gamer keyboard do have nice improvement, but again not yet proved for reliability/durability

Bottoming likely takes 3.8~4.0mm. (Judging from approximate button dimensions and space between flat keycap bottom and upper part of switch.)
How tall is the keycap. I want some more low profile options. Really tired of tall mechanical keys.

Doubt it. There have been plenty of variations on the Cherry switch for quite some time now, and I don't think I've ever heard any rumblings of patent lawsuits being filed.
Doubt this will gain much traction in the enthusiast community, but at least it has the Cherry stem so people have some flexibility with their keycap choices.

Now every single fucker is releasing their own custom mechanical switch, because fuck standards, let's better have our own switch so the poor bastard that buy from us will have to buy us again any time he needs to replace a switch or a keycap, and we can charge him whatever we want and he won't have a choice but to pay.

I had low profile keyboard for 5 year and never got used to it. Changed back to classical keyboard 2 years ago and feel like reborn again. Except i have Omron Romer-G and they have 3.8 mm travel distance. Cherry feels much better with 4.5 mm travel distance.
