About this tag
Hall effect keyboards use magnetic switches that report how far each key is pressed, enabling adjustable actuation and analog-style input. Coverage on WindowsForum.com has focused on the IQUNIX EV63, which gained controller emulation through a HyperCore firmware update. Its Gamepad Mode, exposed in the EV63 web configurator, maps analog-style gamepad inputs to individual keys for PC games where movement or acceleration depends on how far a stick or trigger is pressed rather than a simple on or off key state.
