Since Hall effect Keyboards/Switches took basically the whole gaming industry over, and I want to equip one of my endgame keebs with a Hall effect pcb, does anyone know if any company sells/plans to sell 65% Pcbs that will fit in the likes of a Keycult 65 or SingaKBD Kohaku???

I haven't posted about my analog hall effect keyboard recently so I made a quick video to go over how I made the PCB and it also covers a bit of the case design:

The keyboard uses 3D printed magnetic separation + levitation switches that are inherently hot-swappable since they're entirely contactless. Another interesting feature is that they don't use any springs at all and simply use the magnets themselves to provide both force and (extremely) tactile feedback.
The keyboard will also use my magnetically-stabilized stabilizer design that was featured in Hackaday: https://hackaday.com/2020/08/20/print-your-way-to-keyboard-stability/
The switches are parametric and can be customized to your heart's content. Want long travel or short? No problem: That's a parameter. Want a stronger or weaker switch? Also a parameter! Larger or smaller magnets? That too is a parameter!
The switches use a regular Cherry MX cross mount so yes, it's compatible with regular Cherry keycaps.
I'd be happy to answer any and all questions about it!
I don’t mind buying from lesser-known brands or AliExpress if they’re reliable.
What’s the best bang-for-buck option out there right now?
