| Another semi recent one were optical switches (uses a tiny laser for when to actuate, lowest latency). Hall Effect is the one that's probably going to stay longer, due to the possibility of changing the actuation point to your liking. |

| ▲ | tvelichkov 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | As a competitive FPS player, I can say that it's not just about "changing the actuation point to your liking", but a software feature called "Rapid Trigger" [1]. This thing is here to stay, in the past I've tried all types of mechanical switches (Blue/Brown/Red) and this easily beats them all in competitive FPS, the responsiveness is on another level, and you just can't go back after that.

| Hall effect switches are more like the old hotness that fell out of style and is now viable again among the niche of people willing to pay high prices for keyboards. |

| ▲ | krige 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | Good mechanical keyboard can easily cost more than hall effect ones. It got worse when hotswappables came out and paying another hefty sum for just the replacement switches became easier / more acceptable. |
