While there’s tons of regular hall effect keyboards, there’s only a handful of low profile hall effect keyboards. It’s a niche market combining the best gaming performance that magnetic switches offer with the comfort of low-profile switches.
The low profile hall effect keyboards have low profile magnetic switches with rapid trigger feature, adjustable actuation range (a bit lower than standard 0.1-4.0mm) and all other benefits that come with magnetic switches
