The next big thing in mechanical keyboards is magnetic switches.
On a standard mechanical keyboard switch, you physically close an electrical circuit to register a key press.
Popularized by Dutch keyboard startup Wooting, these switches rely on the Hall Effect and have actually been around since the 1960s.
That’s one thing about board with magnetic switches: they tend to favor proprietary software over open-source solutions like VIA.
The switch is a Khailh Sakura Pink magnetic switch with a 50gf bottom-out force.

Clicks Technology is today unveiling the Clicks creator keyboard for the iPhone.
The thing is, we haven’t abandoned physical buttons.
By moving the keyboard off the display when typing, Clicks almost doubles the available screen.
And for those who really miss the good old days of typing on a physical keyboard, the Clicks creator keyboard offers real keys.
iPhone users can now use shortcuts like CMD + H to navigate to the home screen, or CMD + Space to launch Search.
Microsoft would like 2024 to be the “year of the AI PC” and to put a point on that, the company today announced a new key for Copilot — that is, a physical key that will soon make its way to your keyboard and join the Windows key, together with its friends the Control key, Alt and that Insert key you’ve never purposely used.
Based on the image Microsoft sent over, it looks like the new Copilot key will replace the right Control key on the standard PC keyboard, where it will slot in between the Alt key and the left arrow key.
“The introduction of the Copilot key marks the first significant change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades,” Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President & Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, writes in today’s announcement.
The Copilot key joins the Windows key as a core part of the PC keyboard and when pressed, the new key will invoke the Copilot in Windows experience to make it seamless to engage Copilot in your day to day.”In regions where Copilot is not available, the Copilot key will launch Windows Search.
The first keyboards with the new key will launch at this year’s CES in Las Vegas and will likely start shipping in late February.
