I came across them in a google search. Aside from just having a cooler name it's doing exactly the same thing. I'm happy with my stock endstops so I won't change them. I was just being curious.

I'd be inclined to use hall-effect over opto's if I was for some reason shying away from micro-switches (with or without rollers).

Other than that, just one of a littany of end-stop setups you can have...

How would is differ from the stock endstop? Any advantages or disadvantages? Or is it really just same same just different hardware.
