This reminds me of that 3d printed magnetic ergo keyboard I see now and then, Svalboard I think?

idk, I don't have a 3d printer, but if I did, I'd probably give it a try.

Svalboard uses opto-interruptors, not hall effect sensors, though it does use magnets for return actuation instead of springs. The keys are either on or off, no floating point value like you get with hall effect so some of the features described in the article won't work.

Source: currently working on an open source hall effect sensor keyboard similar to svalboard.
