Well, yeah. The computer&software biz tends to be that way. Not at all like the bike biz where they use ordinary words like brifter and freehub and drops.

Not necessarily. The transmitter must have some sort of microprocessor to control the radio and to shut it off when idle. I wouldn't be surprised to find an inexpensive low power PIC or similar device inside. The code to de-bounce the magnet detection events would be just a few lines, easily within the code space of even the cheapest devices.

That is indeed the key observation. So it's a uniquely wireless problem. Some other transmisioxxxyx-brrrrpt-zz
