The COMMANDER uses Tt Type II Plunger Switches with Mechanical keycaps giving users an awesome tactile feel and clicks with each keystroke while giving responsive feeling like using a mechanical switch keyboard. This will improve gaming performance by giving users speed and responsiveness like never before.

Rubber dome is still rubber dome, but it looks different to standard rubber. This means that the keyboard is able to be customized with MX keycaps.

Yay!

Rubber dome with MX compatible stems... And a non-standard bottom row = pointless

And yes, it IS standard rubber dome. The "click" they mention is simply the slider hitting the top of the casing on key release. They'll probably still get some extra sales out of this marketing BS, though. I wish the general public cared more about what they spent their money on.

Oh, they're rebranding that one now? Okay.

Kind of a shame though...if they wanted to pick something with an MX-compatible stem over rubber domes, there are nicer-looking choices.

Someone hurry up and let BTC know they can make a comeback as a gaming brand.
