Collection: Magnetic / Hall Effect Switch Keyboards

While the technology is not new, keyboards that use Hall Effect switches are having a resurgence in popularity. These keyboards use a system consisting of sensors and magnets to detect keypresses, instead of a physical electrical connection. The PCB is fitted with sensors to detect the exact position of the magnets located in each switch. This allows the keyboard to detect very slight changes in the position of the switch, rather than just being "on" or "off". This precise accuracy also means that actuation points can be adjusted throughout a wide travel distance and makes special effects, like rapid trigger, possible.

Keyboards with magnetic switches are gaining popularity among gamers for their swift, high-precision inputs and responsiveness. Typists like the long lifespan and the ability to customize the switches to their exact needs.
