Move over Hall effect, inductive switches are arriving for mechanical keyboards.

Mechanical keyboards were trending toward Hall effect switches, but at CES Epomaker is following recent announcements from Ducky and hyping induction as the next big thing.

Epomaker will debut its induction switches in its upcoming Magcore 87 tenkeyless board, which should cost under $200 when it launches at the end of January.
