I just stumbled across this video from May 2011. It demonstrates how HX3 (then called HOAX) works with a multi-contact keyboard (from 0:18). That was real nine contacts under each key like the real thing:

Making such a keyboard is very expensive, and in fact you don't need to make this effort. HX3.5 today works with nine (in H100 mode even twelve) virtual contacts. They close one after another with uneven spacing, varying randomly, partly modulated by velocity if available, bouncing like real contact springs. In normal play, the keyclick that results is exactly the one you want.
