Following the recent updates to the Keychron wireless keyboard line-up, with new ZMK firmware and mechanical and Hall effect models reaching gamers, Keychron has started to tease an upcoming version of its V6 keyboard that it is calling a next-gen keyboard architecture. The post on X revealing the keyboard’s design and existence reveals that it will have TMR sensing technology, which is known to be more efficient than Hall-effect sensors, and a “Nova Socket architecture,” with a hybrid platform. This all suggests that Keychron, which has long used TMR sensors in its wireless “HE” keyboard series, will leverage TMR sensors in order to support both mechanical and analogue magnetic switches.

The few people in the world who care enough to have both mechanical and magnetic keys for different things can just have 2 keyboards for the same price. Plus anyone who cares enough to have one type of keys for gaming and another for typing is not going to want 1/3 of their keys to feel/sound different from the rest when they are typing.
