Over the last few years, we've seen a number of keyboards with analog switches that allow you to adjust their actuation points with software. Want a very sensitive key press so you can shoot faster in games? Set your actuation point to 0.5mm. Want a lower point so you don't end up with a slew of typos? Change it to 2mm.
Most of these analog keyboards use Hall Effect sensors that detect changes in magnetic fields as you depress each switch. But Cherry, the company behind the popular Cherry MX line of key switches, has another -- perhaps better -- way to create analog switches: inductive sensors. And Ducky will be the first company to deploy Cherry's inductive "MX Multipoint" switches in a keyboard, its upcoming Ducky One X.
