Which keyboards can use it?

The Outemu HE needs a Hall-effect keyboard that lists it as supported; magnetic switches are not universally cross-compatible, and an unsupported switch can misread on the sensor PCB. It is not compatible with standard MX mechanical hot-swap sockets. Check the keyboard manufacturer's supported-switch list before buying.
