Sit down, relax, and see how a magnetic keyboard switch is made with Wooting's CEO
Wooting CEO Calder details the manufacturing process for Hall effect keyboard switches, similar to the 'How It's Made' TV show. The process involves plastic injection molding for components, switch assembly with lubrication, magnet insertion for Hall effect functionality, and rigorous testing of gram force and magnetic field strength. The article notes that unused plastic material is not recycled to ensure optimal mechanical properties for the switches, which are then sold individually or bundled with the Wooting 60HE v2 keyboard.
