Optical keyboards are the way of the future, just as optical replaced traditional roller balls and SSD's replaced conventional hard-drives. The more components you have in a product the greater the chances of said components breaking down. Optical keyboards remove a lot of the mechanical components from mechanical keyboards, yet still utilize the same design and an optical sensor inside which has the ability to detect key-strokes quicker than mechanical keyboards. This is great for gamers, and with customizable key's similar to the Cherry MX keys of old, it is a viable option for practical users as well.
