Magnetic switches in a 65% esports format
In a Hall Effect switch the keypress is not closed by a mechanical contact: a sensor reads the key position by detecting the movement of a magnet. Because no contacts rub against each other, the switch does not wear the way a regular mechanical switch does. The 65% format drops the number pad and the F-key row, so the keyboard is narrow and leaves plenty of space for the mouse. The 8KHz in the name refers to an 8 kHz polling rate.
