This has been an extolled benefit of the new Hall/TMR design keyboard/switches.
Because they deal with a continuous activation level, you can define in software when the "press down" signal gets fired in the key travel, including immediately stopping the press once it stops traveling down, and resuming it in the reverse; effectively eliminating pre-travel.
These boards apparently started getting banned in comp play even, from what I've heard. Caveat emptor, I'm not into the comp gaming scene.
