Analog pushbuttons tend not to have much success. The original Street Fighter for instance could select between light/medium/heavy attacks based on how hard you pushed buttons. It didn't last long before they got back to the familiar 6 button layout with simple switches.
The Playstation 2 had analog pushbuttons, essentially no one used them. Even analog triggers are mostly used as simple switches. Apple discontinued force touch too.
There is an advantage to Hall effect sensors for gaming keyboards though. It is that they don't have a set actuation point and it allows for a feature called "rapid trigger", greatly improving reactivity and tapping speed. It is particularly important for games like OSU!
