Hall-effect keyboard: when the key is no longer just on or off
Technology that changes the way you feel when playing
Magnetic sensors allow the computer to also detect the depth of keystrokes.
Hall-effect keyboard uses magnetic sensors instead of classic contacts. Therefore, for each key, we can determine how deeply it should be triggered, and for some models, how quickly it resets after being pressed. In a competitive game, this means faster direction changes, but in a racing game, the analog key can act like a very simple trigger.
The most interesting features are Rapid Trigger and multi-point triggering. The first removes the usual fixed reset point, while the second assigns two commands to one key. This is helpful but takes some getting used to. For typing, a classic mechanical switch can be more pleasant, especially if you like a distinct click feel.
If you often play FPS titles, the Hall-effect model is one of the few upgrades that you really notice in your fingers. In other games, the gain will be more in flexibility than raw advantage.
