The core issue with mechanical switches really comes down to contact bounce, and it’s the debounce delay that actually costs you—not the switch travel itself. When a mechanical Omron or TTC micro switch closes, those two metal contacts collide and physically spring apart several times before settling, generating a burst of false signals. Firmware has to filter that out with a debounce window, usually 1-2ms of pure dead time between actuation and the next registered press. Optical switches

Good follow-up so far. Let me add some depth on the actual mechanics, because the math really separates a robust architecture from a naive one. For competitive titles, nearly everything runs on UDP, which means you can’t rely on the stateful handshake cleanup that TCP scrubbing offers — you’re dealing with connectionless traffic, so your filtering has to be stateful on your end by tracking session/steam-ID state or using rate-limiting per source. The foundational model here is queueing theory: treat your uplink as an M/G/1 queue where legitimate player traffic and flood packets both compete for the same buffer.
