The internals of this keyboard are unique. Instead of standard Hall effect equipment, the Q16 is one of Keychron’s first keyboards to utilize TMR sensors. These are very similar to standard Hall effect switches, but they have a few key differences. The largest benefits are their improved accuracy and reduced power draw compared to Hall effect sensors, while the downsides are primarily their increased price and a lack of development. For gaming, these switches are great. They’re fast and responsive, returning quickly after being pressed and having quite a few ways to adjust their performance. The Rapid Triggers setting allows for switches to immediately be pressed again after they’re released (as opposed to waiting for the switch to reset past its original actuation point), and the SOCD (simultaneous opposing cardinal direction) settings allow for opposite movements (typically A and D, for strafing) to override one another when both are pressed at the same time. This means when A is pressed, then D is pressed, the D key will take priority and disable input from the …
