Switch sensing technologyiKey sensing technology. Hall effect and TMR are different sensor types. A mixed board is identified explicitly. Magnetic switch housing alone does not identify the sensor.

Magnetic (Hall effect)1Maker product pageaulagear.com/products/aula-win68-he-seriesRead 15 October 2026Switch spec list: 'Switch Type: Magnetic Hall Effect Switch' for both WingChun and Greywood.

Magnetic (Hall effect)1Maker product pagesteelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro-gen-3Read 23 October 2026Technical Specifications: OmniPoint 3.0 Adjustable HyperMagnetic Switches (Analog Hall Effect Magnetic Sensor). The Mini has no function row, arrow keys, navigation keys or numpad, so the regular Red switches that the larger Gen 3 boards use for those keys do not apply.
