Tesoro showed off the second-edition of its Gram series gaming keyboard, the Gram SE Spectrum. This keyboard differs from its predecessor in taking advantage of Tesoro's in-house Optical switches, while the older Gram uses mechanical switches. Its electronics offer full NKRO (n-key rollover), letting you make any number of simultaneous key presses, and having them all register. An optical switch uses laser light obstruction to register a key-press, and is extremely accurate compared to electrical switches. It also offers higher lifespan than both membrane and mechanical (electrical) switches. Like the original, the Gram SE Spectrum features full RGB LED lighting, with a 16.7 million-color palette.

Actually have no differece then normal mechanical switches just adding an electronic system, mini lazer system inside the every button.it will detect the movement but you can be sure respond times will be perfect with this.

Hmm, I wonder if this is also an analog keyboard in itself. So, can the amount I actually press down be measured by the laser, for example, to run faster or slower in game. That would be a really big advantage over regular digital switches.

No, none of the current optical switch keyboards are analog. These have just the laser interruption as a keystroke so it's on or off only. The Flaretech switches will be the first to be analog and based on optics.

These aren't in-house switches as much as Gateron manufacturing to Tesoro specs.
