Cherry Xtrfy magnetic switch keyboards

Cherry Xtrfy launches its first magnetic switch keyboards

Cherry Xtrfy is launching its first magnetic switch keyboards, using tunnel magnetoresistance sensing instead of Hall effect. Magnetic switches are increasingly used in gaming keyboards for their speed, adjustable actuation, and consistent input behavior.

Magnetic switch keyboards work without physical electrical contacts. Instead they detect key presses by measuring changes in a magnetic field as a key moves, which allows actuation points to be tuned and inputs to register earlier in the press.
