What Hacker News says?
Hall effect switches have existed in keyboards for a long time [1]. I don't think there are many of them being produced nowadays though, but there's at least one new Chinese Hall effect keyboard that came out a few years ago [2]. Wooting also has a Hall effect switch [3]. You can't buy any keyboards with it yet but you can pre-order one at least [4]. [1] https://deskthority.net/wiki/Keystroke_sensing#Hall_effect [2]…
