[Idea] ElectroMagLev Keyboard Switch: use tiny electromagnet for adjustable resistance and rebound #25

@FluorescentHallucinogen

Description

What about replacing one of the permanent magnets (obviously in the body of the switch, not axis) with a tiny electromagnet?

The strength of the electromagnet could be controlled by current. It could even be variable and depend on the Hall effect sensor or optical sensor readings.

I would call it ElectroMagLev, short for ElectroMagnetic Levitation.

Imagine being able to fully customize the haptic feedback, adjust not just the actuation point, but also the resistance and rebound speed of each key using a user-friendly graphical interface e.g. via mouse (Force-Travel Curve Editor). See image.

This level of customization allows users to emulate the behavior of almost any keyboard switches available on the market or create a truly personalized typing experience, tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
