==Description==
The switch uses [[hall effect]] sensing, with the goal to have "analogue" adjustable activation point (but not adjustable tactile point).
Because it has no electric connection, it would be hot-swap capable through a plate.

It has [[Cherry MX mount]] for compatibility with existing key sets,but the planned shape of slider and housing does not offer support for silencing with [[Damping#O-rings|O-rings]] or [[Damping#Silencing_clips|clips]].

The switch has a LED opening (probably for SMD LEDs) in the bottom and a clear top for backlight of OEM-profile keycaps when switches are mounted LED side north.
An additional opening on the opposite side is planned for light when switches are mounted the right way around under thick Cherry-profile keycaps.

The first switches are intended to be launched first in the [[Input Club Keystone|Keystone]] "Analog Mechanical Keyboard" family.
Individual switches and schematics for a reference design are planned for release around when the keyboard launches, so that people could design custom keyboards. The reference design will be based around a Microchip ATSAM4S (ARM Cortex-M4) microcontroller — 8-bit AVR is believed to not be powerful enough.<!-- Although you could say that if you would need more than 16 MIPS for a friggin' keyboard, then you are probably doing it wrong .. -->
