With over 2,600 different switches to use, I'm not giving up MX for hall effect. Maybe for a novelty, but we need a lot more switches for Hal effect to really be a solid choice.

Hi everyone!We have like zero switch options, no spring options, only linears. I can do that already so many ways that I can't find any interest in hall effect.
The designer of CA66 will show you his new keyboard project: a magnetic switch keyboard that is a 60% keyboard featuring a gasket mount, which will come with 67 PCS GATERON magnetic hall effect switches and key travel can be adjusted freely. And we will pre-install this kit, you just need to put the keycaps on this kit.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/cyAzPbm.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/NCYKok2.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/FFVgyQJ.jpg)Show Image(http://)
Let's see more details below:
1. Clean Design with Magnetic waves bottom pattern
We are still confirming the case colors and will keep to updated on more options.
Prototypes pictures: https://imgur.com/a/hw74oRc
2. Technical features:
1. Magnetic switches, the key travel can be adjusted independently/globally (safe mode: 0.3-3.8mm, which can prevent accidental touches/extreme mode: 0.1-4.0mm)
2. Support Rapid Trigger
3. Self-developed online remap and firmware upgrade solution, you can use it by opening the web page, no need to install any software, no need to download APP( Remap website: https://keeb.pro)
3. Firmware:
The PCB and firmware this time will be provided by Keeb Pro, who is also the author of the S65/S80 online key modification. The keyboard is driven by QMK, and the main control is Raspberry Pi RP2040. The core frequency is 133 MHz. It is compatible with multiple programming languages and can run a variety of open-source keyboard firmware, such as QMK, KMK, and ZMK. It is full of customization and programming ability.

As for lifetime, most keyboards should outlast you anyway.
Eh, brain already compensates for input delay and if I want different actuation, there are other switches. And since I'm fine with anything roughly 1.5-2.5mm, I really don't have a worry there.Hi everyone!We have like zero switch options, no spring options, only linears.

rapid trigger and adjustable acttuation though
nearly all mx linears are the same. 2600 switches with different colours or by some factory worker sneezing into the resin before injection doesn't make them actually different.
besides, options good. there's also like 20 or so 65%s with mx compatibility in the hobby at the moment. HE should at least be an option

The hall effect change is very needed for the keyboard hobby right now.
Here's something I have observed, I see a lot of people swear by Topre switches but it has not caught on or become popular enough to be easily accessible. Whereas MX switches are everywhere. Manu already have MX molds, they only need to tweak by adding a magnet and every single type of MX switch can readily become a hall effect switch giving you the colour scheme and materials options that you have already been used to.
Great to see a custom mechanical keyboard offering for hall effect switches. I've been waiting for Wooting to offer a 65% or 75% board, so this is interesting to me, particularly at this price point. However, I'm not a fan of the base. The strange placement of the feet, coupled with the visible screws, combined with the wedge, plus the silver weight and the engraved hall design make it look messy to my eyes as there's just too many different shapes and elements for my tastes.Thank you for sharing your ideas. We will try to make it better :)
Still, it's an interesting board. GLWIC.
Is there an estimate to when this might run? I see listings on Taobao so it must be soon?Yes, we plan to run it soon. Please stay tuned. Thank you.
