The '''Halo''' switches are [[Cherry MX clone]]s designed by Jacob Alexander ([[User:Haata|HaaTa]]) of [[Input Club]] and manufactured by [[Kailh]].

==Variants==
The '''Halo True''' was designed to resemble the smooth and tactile [[Topre switch]]es but be mechanical and Cherry MX-compatible.

The '''Halo Clear''' uses the same slider shape as the Halo True but a spring closer to a [[Cherry MX Clear]]. The design was chosen because Cherry had not made any RGB-version of the MX Clear.<ref name="tomannounce"/>

==Availability==
The group order ("drop") on [[Massdrop]] for the [[Input Club K-Type]] has so far (November 2017) been the only way to acquire the switches.

[[Input Club]] had developed and funded the switches together with Massdrop under an as yet undisclosed agreement which divided rights between them.
Both parties are currently in a disagreement over if or how Input Club would be allowed to distribute Halo switches through other channels than Massdrop.<ref name="tomfeud"/>
