What hall effect switches feel like cherry mx silent switches?

[hushed summit]

Been using cherry mx silent switches for like 10 years now, my keyboard finally broke and I'm looking to get a wooting since I play a lot of CS. I was going to go with gateron black ink v2s but apparently you need special switches for wooting. I have some questions:

• What hall effect switches will feel good/are linear/similar to cherry mx silents? Are the default switches on the wooting linear?

-Should I ditch the wooting altogether and, just get something with gateron black ink V2s?

-Are there any keyboards that have rapid trigger and support gateron black ink V2s? Or is rapid trigger synonymous with hall effect switches?

Thank you!

mx switches are indeed not compatible with HE boards, you can check out #🪛│modding_faq for switches.

HE works different than mx boards, mx switches have a set actuation point which actuates when pressing the key to that point. Hall effect switches have a magnet in the stem and the board can tell how far away that magnet is so you can set your own actuation point and use rapid trigger

also, if you want mx switches than get rather a mx board. but wooting is pretty nice and the lekker tikken are actually pretty fine, of course there are better options based on your liking but for $20 they are not bad

are there any rapid trigger keyboards with mx switches? or is rapid trigger only possible with HE?

https://youtu.be/eZENx1T7OLw this video might help understanding how rapid trigger works if you are interested, but no there is no such thing as mx rapid trigger because it got a set actuation point

Okay thank you. Last question - if i end up not liking rapid trigger is it possible to disable it?
