Hall Effect, TMR and the New Switch Era Are Rewriting Keyboard Hardware
A new wave of keyboard sensing technologies is moving mechanical keyboards beyond the familiar click-and-contact model, with Hall-effect and tunnel magnetoresistance, or TMR, switches emerging as the most important alternatives. Ars Technica’s guide underscores how these designs promise longer life, finer actuation control and new gaming features, while also exposing buyers to a more fragmented and confusing market.
