Type the words below. Headphones make the difference obvious.
What it sounds like
OmniPoint switches use a magnet and a sensor instead of a metal contact, which lets the board change how far down a key has to go before it counts. It is a linear, and it sounds smooth, with a firm, even bottom-out.
The Apex Pro V2 uses the newer OmniPoint 2.0 and sounds a little faster and sharper. Play the two back to back below.
