Pulsar is reportedly preparing two new Hall effect gaming keyboards, the Sboard HE TKL and Sboard HE 100%, featuring an 8,000Hz polling rate, silent magnetic switches, and controller emulation. The upcoming keyboards were spotted in product information sheets shared by @jakeufps on X, offering an early look at what the company could bring to the competitive gaming keyboard market.
As their names suggest, the two models will target different keyboard layouts. The Sboard HE TKL will feature a tenkeyless design, while the Sboard HE 100% will retain a full-size layout with a dedicated number pad. The latter is particularly interesting, as full-size Hall effect gaming keyboards are less common than compact and tenkeyless alternatives.
Both keyboards are expected to feature an 8,000Hz polling rate alongside Hall effect switches, allowing users to benefit from adjustable actuation and other magnetic switch technologies. However, Pulsar appears to be adding some features beyond gaming performance. According to the leaked information sheets, both models will include built-in DACs and four-pole 3.5mm audio combo jacks for connecting compatible audio devices.
Another detail mentioned in the leaked specifications is the inclusion of silent Hall effect switches. While magnetic switches have become increasingly popular among competitive gamers, most gaming keyboards still use switches that produce noticeable typing noise. Silent magnetic switches could make the Sboard HE lineup an interesting option for gamers who want rapid input response without the usual keyboard noise.
The product sheets also mention Joystick Mode, suggesting that Pulsar is working on controller emulation. This feature could allow keyboard inputs to be translated into gamepad commands, similar to implementations available on selected keyboards from Wooting, Keychron, and Iqunix. It could also provide additional flexibility in games that support controller-based input.
Wireless connectivity is not mentioned in the available product information, leaving it unclear whether either keyboard will support wireless operation. Pulsar has also yet to announce official pricing, availability, or a launch date for the Sboard HE TKL and Sboard HE 100%.
The company could reveal the keyboards before the end of 2026 or provide another look at them during CES 2027 in January. For now, the information comes from exhibition materials shared by @jakeufps on X, and Pulsar has not officially confirmed the upcoming products.
