Drop Halo True

The Drop Halo True is a tactile mechanical switch designed by Jacob Alexander (HaaTa), the same mind behind the Halo Clear and a key figure in the keyboard community. Engineered for typists who naturally bottom out their keys, the Halo True provides a smooth, progressive tactile bump with a much heavier actuation force, delivering a cushioned and controlled keystroke that reduces fatigue without sacrificing feedback. With a 60g tactile force and a robust 100g bottom-out, it’s built to absorb impact while offering a plush, responsive feel.

This switch is especially well-suited to writers, coders, and heavy-handed typists who prefer a grounded, deliberate typing style. Unlike “snappy” tactiles like the Holy Panda, the Halo True is about smooth curves over sharp cliffs—a tactile experience that’s more about rhythm and resistance than raw speed.

User Feedback

Users describe the Halo True as a “heavy hitter with a soft heart”—weighty in force, but gentle in delivery. It’s often praised for reducing finger strain in long typing sessions, thanks to its progressive resistance and impact-absorbing bottom-out. Enthusiasts love the switch for its unique feel, calling it “pillowy,” “thuddy,” and even “luxurious” compared to sharper tactiles.

While it may feel too heavy for light typists or fast-paced gaming, those who favor thoughtful, forceful typing often find it to be a perfect match. It's especially popular in high-end builds and productivity-focused boards, where typing feel and long-term comfort take priority over speed. If you like your switches with some weight and soul, Halo True has your back (and your fingers).
