Do you prefer a click or a quiet tactile bump? The MX browns you describe are a light quiet tactile switch.

Most of these Hall effect keyboards are all running linear switches - no tactility whatsoever. I’ve seen a handful of switches which are HE and tactile, but I’ve not tried them. Glorious Panda HE are a notable model - if the name is consistent with their past efforts these should be significantly more tactile than the MX Browns you currently use.






I use the boba u4 silents and I consider them to be my endgame switch. It has a very crisp bump despite being quieter than pretty much any other keyboard in my office. I've had them for about 2 years and nothing else has caught my eye since I got them.

These hall effect dealios do sound interesting but I've never liked linear. I dont think I'm interested in changing the actuation point since it would be desynchronized from the bump point. As far as analog controls go, I have controllers for that.


Ohh cool I didn’t know ZealPC was making HE switches
