Hall effect switches and 8,000 Hz of survey rate in the new Zenblade 65 V2 Pwnage keyboard

Pwnage has announced the launch of its new keyboard Zenblade 65 v2, A compact TKL model without a numerical zone, with a size of 65%. What makes it special is not its format, quite common lately, but that it is the use of magnetic hall effect switches on its keys.

Hall effect sensors use magnetism to send the position of an element with precision. They are used in elements as diverse as electrical scooter accelerators or even joystics of gamepads, to give two different examples.

This means that this Zenblade 64 V2 allows to adjust the parameters of the sensors with values such as their point of action, specifically, it can be defined at what level of the pulsation the signal will be sent, with steps of only 0.01 mm. Other functions include the activation or deactivation of pulsations according to the key of the key very quickly-

It is not the first mechanical keyboard with hall effect switches, even Corsair itself has the occasional model, but it is a technology that has not yet been implemented on a large scale in this type of peripherals.

The Pwnage Zenblade 65 integrates a “Zenith” chip that is capable of reaching a survey rate of 8,000 Hz (frequency to which the pulsations are sent to the PC). It will arrive in personalized variants in type of key and designs, on an aluminum structure CNC. Its price is $ 249 in the “Nyomi” edition, or $ 219 in conventional versions
