What customers say
Tecsee Jadeite switches are highly praised as a premium linear option, primarily for their exceptional stock smoothness and distinctive sound profile. Users frequently note that the performance right out of the box is remarkable, often eliminating the need for immediate manual lubrication. The defining feature is the acoustic signature; the unique housing material delivers a deep, resonant, and satisfyingly thocky sound that sets them apart from higher pitched competitors. While overall quality control is strong, a small number of users report minor inconsistencies like slight spring ping in a few units. Despite this, the consensus is that the Jadeites offer superb, high-end feel and sound, making them a highly recommended choice for builders seeking a unique, deep acoustic experience.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Tecsee Jadeite switches feature a 5-pin PCB mount, which is compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic side pins to make them fit.
The double gold spring provides a more consistent resistance throughout the keypress compared to standard single-stage springs. This results in a snappier return and a more deliberate, tactile-like feedback despite the switch being linear.
Yes, the housing is designed to support backlighting. The clear or translucent elements allow light to pass through, making them a great choice for keyboards with per-key RGB lighting.
The 55g actuation force is the pressure required to register a keystroke, while the 63.5g bottom-out force is the pressure needed to press the key all the way down. This creates a balanced feel that is light enough for fast gaming but firm enough to prevent accidental typos.
The Tecsee Jadeite switches are designed for a smooth experience out of the box thanks to the UPE material used in the stem and housing. While enthusiasts often choose to apply their own lubricant for a specific sound profile, they are pre-engineered to perform exceptionally well without additional modification.
Yes, these switches feature a standard Cherry MX-style stem. They are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets available on the market.
