Do TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) switches provide any real benefits for layer optimization?
I only just came across this new sub-type of magnetic switches through a Chyrosran22 review video and was wondering if anyone had looked deeply into them with regard to possibly making homerow mods or other modifier approaches work better or actually putting more layers onto the same modifier key.
The technology's capabilities sound promising - a TMR keyboard can often distinguish things like:
- Different actuation depths.
- Very small release/retrigger movements.
- Multi-action mappings where a light press does one thing and a deeper press does another.
- Rapid Trigger behavior, where a key re-arms as soon as you slightly release it.
Please share your results / conclusions if you've tried them.
