I tried to understand what Hall Effect is and what its advantages are, but it was so vague, beating around the bush and forwarding you to other articles on their site, that I gave up and searched on the YT mechanical keyboards channels instead.

Hall effect switches have been used in model railroading for a couple of generations now. Very often to stop and start engines in hard-to-reach places with a wand.

Here's an explanation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor



Much appreciated, glad to learn something new today.
