Uniqlev VS Inductive, a comparison

What could be the next chapter of keyboards?

Everything has changed drastically. Uniqmag’s exclusive springless maglev switch, Uniqlev, may have just found its biggest opponent… or has it?

The Electric Induction Switch

An inductive switch measures input by sensing changes in electromagnetic induction on its PCB. The switch can be broken down into five parts: the upper housing, the stem, an inductive cone connected to the stem, a spring that supports movement, and the lower housing that completes the structure.

Pros:

• Higher resolution and more stable sensing compared to most Hall-effect magnetic switches
• Extended lifespan, similar to other magnetic switches
• Supports analog input features found in magnetic switch keyboards

Cons:

• Current supply chain limitations
• Consistency testing still in progress

Uniqmag’s Uniqlev Springless Maglev Switch

Uniqmag’s answer to the evolution of magnetic switches, developed through years of research and refinement. Built on a TMR sensing unit, Uniqlev completely reimagines the internal structure by replacing the traditional spring with dual support magnets. Movement is achieved through magnetic field interaction, using an upper dynamic magnet and a lower sensing magnet, all enclosed within the PCB housing.

Pros:

• Extended lifespan due to the complete elimination of mechanical wear
• Higher consistency, ensuring uniform actuation and return every time
• Retains all the features of traditional magnetic switch keyboards

Cons:

• Uniqmag exclusive, we’re not sharing it 😤
• If it never breaks… does that mean you won’t support our other products? 🥹
