Title: Any examples of Hall effect keyboards? What does it feel like to type on one?
Post by: Sintpinty on Sun, 03 February 2019, 18:03:15

I am asking people about Hall effect keyboards because I am interested in them. They sound weird, but I know they keyboards operated by magnet switches. Is there any modern ones?
Also, how is the feel?
Just wondering.
