What is a Magnetic swtich Keyboard and Why Hall Effect Technology is Turning Tradition on Its Head
The TK75HE series keyboards utilize magnetic switch technology, which is triggered without physical contact through the Hall effect.
Advantages over traditional mechanical switches include
Zero wear and tear: no metal contact and up to 100 million cycles of service life
Precise Response: 0.01mm adjustable travel accuracy (TK75HE V2)
(realized by RT accuracy setting of TK75HEV2)
Dynamic triggering: Supports key travel hierarchy configuration.

For example:
Z layer (game mode): shorten the trigger travel to 0.1mm, enable macro keystrokes
X layer (office mode): restore default travel, bind calculator/email shortcuts
C layer (multimedia mode): map volume knob and playback controls
2. FN layer settings
FN layer mapping function means pressing any configurable key of FN+ can call other key functions. In the FN layer state, the red area indicates that the user is not allowed to set; the transparent area indicates that the FN layer key position is not set and the user is allowed to set; the green area indicates that the factory default FN layer key setting is set and the user is allowed to modify the default setting.
For example:
Extended key combination: FN+Space to mute, FN+↑/↓ to adjust the brightness.
Disable lock: Long press FN+Esc to lock Win key to prevent accidental touch.
Macro Programming Teaching: Record the move commands in the “Macro” module (e.g. FPS game fast gun cutting).
