Keychron Reveals Hybrid Optical-Magnetic Mouse Switch for Faster Clicks and Longer Life
Gamers will be well familiar with the pain of a drifting analog stick. This issue has largely been resolved with the introduction of Hall-effect and TMR sticks in modern controllers. Why not apply the same tech to defeat double-clicking mouse switches? Keychron isn't the first to do so, but it might have the best solution we've seen in its new MagOptic Micro Switch.
There are actually two different switch technologies at play here, and arguably three. The switch uses a mechanical leaf spring to produce the familiar 'click', but the actual click detection is performed using either an optical switch or a magnetic sensor. Users can select which mode to use; optical mode offers a traditional mouse clicking experience, while magnetic mode offers adjustable actuation and a feature called "Rapid Trigger".
The advantages of the magnetic modeare clear. Users can adjust the actuation distance to be longer or...
