Qwertykeys has expanded its Neo65 keyboard series with the introduction of the Sonic He+ Hall effect module, a conversion kit designed for existing Neo65 owners who want to bring magnetic switch technology to their current setup. This update allows users to transform their mechanical Neo65 keyboard into a Hall effect variant without the need to purchase a completely new model.
The Neo65 series from Qwertykeys has gained recognition for its solid construction, customizability, and value in the custom keyboard space. With the Sonic He+ module, the company is offering a more advanced input experience by using Hall effect sensors that detect key travel through magnetic field changes rather than physical contacts. This results in higher precision, durability, and faster response times, appealing to both gaming and typing enthusiasts.
The Sonic He+ module kit comes as a complete package with all the components necessary for the upgrade. Inside the kit, users will find a new PCB with 8,000 Hz polling rate, a carbon fiber plate, and all mounting and assembly hardware required for installation. Qwertykeys has also included Owlab Nova Magnetic switches, which feature a 3.5 mm travel distance and a 50 gf bottom-out force, comparable to the feel of popular linear red mechanical switches. These switches use a closed-bottom housing and box stem design to minimize stem wobble and produce a cleaner, more consistent sound profile.
The kit further includes case and plate foams, stabilizers, and a set of frosted translucent keycaps with either green or purple cyberpunk-style legends. For convenience, the box also provides accessories such as a USB cable, an upgraded keycap and switch puller, and a tool to remove the PCB and plate assembly. Buyers can choose between white or green legends on the smoky keycaps, depending on their aesthetic preference.
Beyond the hardware, the Sonic He+ module is supported by Qwertykeys’ NeoFlux web driver, which enables software-based customization. Users can fine-tune actuation points, activate Rapid Trigger mode, manage SOCD input behavior, create macros, and adjust key response settings for gaming or productivity tasks. The 0.01 mm Hall effect sensor sensitivity ensures precise input detection, making each keystroke responsive and consistent.
At a retail price of $80, the Sonic He+ module presents a cost-effective upgrade for Neo65 owners looking to experience modern Hall effect technology without replacing their entire keyboard. With comprehensive hardware, software support, and included accessories, this release continues Qwertykeys’ approach of providing accessible entry points into high-performance custom keyboards.
The Sonic He+ module is now available for purchase, further extending the Neo65 lineup and offering a practical path for users seeking to modernize their setup with the precision and longevity of Hall effect switches.
