Keychron is putting Hall effect switches into more keyboards

More key customization at your fingertips.

Mechanical keyboard specialist Keychron is adding fancy analog Hall effect switches to more of its lineup. They use magnetic induction sensing on the PCB that detects how far down a key has been pushed — allowing you to decide the exact actuation point or even set different functions that activate depending on how hard you press. Meanwhile, other brands like Epomaker and Ducky are trending toward induction-based switches that provide similar analog features and use less power.
