What customers say
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro switches earn high praise primarily for their elite performance and distinct sound profile. Users consistently report exceptional out of box smoothness, often attributed to quality factory lubrication. The defining feature is the satisfying, high pitched clacky acoustic feedback, highly valued by enthusiasts. Competitive gamers appreciate the immediate responsiveness and precision delivered by the magnetic actuation, viewing these as a significant speed upgrade. While the premium cost and requirement for specialized Hall Effect PCBs present a barrier, owners feel the superior speed and unique typing experience fully justify the investment. These switches are considered a top tier choice for those prioritizing rapid performance and auditory satisfaction.
Know before you buy
These switches are designed for keyboards that specifically support Hall Effect magnetic switches. While they feature an MX-style stem for keycap compatibility, they will not function in standard mechanical keyboards that rely on traditional metal contact pins.
The Mahjong-inspired profile refers to a distinct, crisp, and resonant sound signature. The combination of the POM stem and nylon bottom housing creates a deeper, 'clackier' acoustic experience compared to standard linear switches.
No, these switches come pre-lubed from the factory. They are ready to install directly out of the box, offering a smooth, consistent feel without the need for additional manual lubrication.
Hall Effect technology uses magnetic sensors rather than physical metal contacts to register keypresses. This allows for faster response times and the potential for features like rapid trigger or adjustable actuation points in compatible keyboards.
These switches have a total travel distance of 3.5 ± 0.2mm. This slightly shorter travel compared to traditional switches helps facilitate quicker, more responsive inputs during fast-paced gaming.
Since each pack contains 18 switches, you would need five packs for a standard 87-key TKL keyboard or six packs for a full-sized 104-key layout. Be sure to check your specific keyboard's layout to confirm the exact number of switches required.
