Filco Majestouch-2 NKR 104 ASCII with red switches FTW.There are plenty of "Sports" that take little to no physical exercise to be proficient in. For example, Golf. I love Golf. Always have since my grandfather took me when I was 6 years old. I am a stick, as you might say, at almost 6'4" and barely 175 pounds yet I can drive the ball as far as some pros easily. If anything the same Pros take away the most physical part of the game, carrying the bag.That said, I do agree they are not athletes. They are professional gamers but not athletes.As for the switches, they don't look any better than Cherry MX Reds in terms of distance or actuation force (2mm, 45g for Reds) so I don't see the purpose in them really except for Razer to make money off of them possibly since everyone is going to mechanical for gaming these days.Trialsking :+1Now I love games as much as the next guy and God bless someone who can get paid to play games, but these guys are not athletes.Athele - a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of PHYSICAL EXERCISE."eSports athletes".

i am fine with the notion that sports should involve physical excretion and completly fine with computer/video/board games not being sports. and i think saying things like nascar, golf and curling arent sports either. screw it, baseball is barley a sport.If we disregard professional gamers as athletes then we can exclude NASCAR, gold, chess, and more!

Since it is so easy to become an American football star maybe you should do it. They get paid very well. Or in reality your just nerd raging because someone had the gaul to say playing video games is not a sport and video game players are not athletes. You sir are what makes all other people who play games looks silly and you should take a good look at what you said and how stupid it sounds.Wrong.Here is the definition of an athlete:a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina.A person spending 8 hours or more every day honing in on their skills are showing signs of stamina both physically and mentally. They have high levels of dexterity and quick response times meaning they are training themselves both physically and mentally for use of peripherals, and of strategy.These "pro-gamers" are just not athletes by your unofficial definition. You could argue it requires more talent to be a top of the charts pro-gamer than an athlete in a garbage sport like American football too. Whether you like it or not, an e-athlete fits the definition of athlete. If we disregard professional gamers as athletes then we can exclude NASCAR, gold, chess, and more!Trialsking :+1Now I love games as much as the next guy and God bless someone who can get paid to play games, but these guys are not athletes.Athele - a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of PHYSICAL EXERCISE."eSports athletes".
