More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break ...

Hall effect position sensors are noncontact devices that convert energy from a magnetic field into an electrical signal. The sensors use the Hall effect, an electrical potential (the Hall voltage) ...

While both make use of magnets, Hall Effect sensors send signals based on the voltage difference when a magnetic field is applied across a semiconductor material. TMR joysticks, on the other hand ...

Hall effect proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity, presence or absence of a magnetic object using a critical distance. They function via an electrical potential that is developed across ...

The first video below lays the basic groundwork, with a bunch of experiments with 3-axis Hall effect sensors, specifically the Texas Instruments TMAG5273 and TMAG5170. They’re essentially the ...

He built this set of no-contact limit switches using a hall effect sensor. The small black package sticking out past the end of the protoboard is the sensor. It is used to detect a magnetic field.

On the K2, they’re just as good. (I have an in-depth explainer on Hall effect sensors if you'd like to learn more about the technology.) These switches are smooth, comfortable, and consistent to ...

Definition: The Quantum Hall Effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon observed in two-dimensional electron systems subjected to low temperatures and strong magnetic fields. It is characterized by the ...

The 60HE is as iconic as it is controversial, flipping the mechanical keyboard world on its head with Hall Effect switches in a 60% form factor. Now, Wooting is back with the 80HE, which is a ...

8BitDo is known for making great third-party gaming controllers and the company is now expanding into smartphones with a new mobile controller. The just announced Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller ...
