What customers say
The GATERON Magnetic Jade HE Switches are overwhelmingly praised by competitive gamers for their revolutionary speed and responsiveness. Users consistently highlight the magnetic technology, especially the Rapid Trigger feature, as a genuine competitive advantage. The switches offer exceptional smoothness immediately, thanks to effective factory lubrication, providing a satisfying linear feel and a clean sound profile. While the premium price point is noted, most serious gamers feel the performance justifies the investment. The main limitation is the requirement for specific Hall Effect keyboard PCBs, restricting accessibility. For those seeking the absolute fastest input, these switches represent a significant, high-quality upgrade that elevates the gaming experience.
Know before you buy
No, these are magnetic Hall Effect (HE) switches. They are only compatible with keyboards specifically designed to support magnetic switches and will not function in standard mechanical sockets.
The dual-rail structure provides extra support to the stem, which significantly reduces side-to-side wobble. This ensures a more stable, consistent keystroke feel compared to traditional single-rail switch designs.
Yes, because these use magnetic sensors rather than physical contact leaves, you can adjust the pre-travel distance through your keyboard's compatible software. This allows you to set a shallower actuation for faster gaming or a deeper one for typing.
No, the Gateron Magnetic Jade switches come pre-lubed from the factory. They are ready for immediate installation and provide a smooth, consistent glide right out of the box.
These switches feature a back-covered internal structure designed to minimize resonance and hollow sounds. They offer a crisp, clean acoustic profile that is generally quieter and more refined than standard linear switches.
The full-transparent housing is specifically designed to maximize light diffusion. It allows your keyboard's RGB lighting to shine through clearly and evenly, making it an excellent choice for setups focused on aesthetics.
