Know before you buy
These switches feature an MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with most standard mechanical keyboards. However, please note that they rely on magnetic actuation, so they will only function correctly in keyboards specifically designed to support magnetic or Hall Effect switches.
The magnetic mechanism allows for a smooth, contact-free actuation that eliminates the physical friction found in traditional mechanical switches. This results in a consistent linear feel and allows you to customize the actuation point through your keyboard's software.
These switches are significantly quieter than standard linear switches due to the integrated double shoulder mute pad. This dampening system effectively absorbs the sound of the stem hitting the housing, making them an excellent choice for shared office spaces or quiet home environments.
No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are ready for immediate use right out of the box, providing a smooth, consistent keystroke without the need for manual application.
Not at all. The switches are designed with an optimized spotlight housing that is specifically engineered to allow light to pass through clearly, ensuring your RGB backlighting remains vibrant and bright.
These switches are built for high durability and are rated for 100 million keystrokes. Because they use magnetic sensors rather than physical metal contacts, they are less prone to wear and tear over time compared to traditional mechanical switches.
