My number one pick for the best network switch for gaming is the Nighthawk S8000 from Netgear. The Nighthawk provides considerably less latency than your basic network switch, operating at less than 3.2 microsec at 1 Gbps. The result is a faster and more stable experience when gaming.

It introduces a delay (latency) of 3.1 microseconds. That’s about the same as 600 metres of fibre or cable. So compared to the hundreds or thousands of kilometres it is between your house and the server, no the switch isn’t going to do much to your ping time.

Which switch is best for gaming?

If you want a switch that’s really fast for gaming, the Razer Red Optical switch or Cherry Speed Silver are your best bets. But if you need a well rounded switch, for typing/gaming, the Cherry MX or Gateron linear switches are great options.
