Know before you buy
No, these are specifically designed for low-profile keyboards. They will not fit standard mechanical boards due to their unique low-profile housing and magnetic actuation requirements.
No, the Gateron Magnetic Jade switches come factory pre-lubricated. They are ready to use right out of the box, providing a smooth feel without the need for manual application.
This refers to a specific acoustic signature characterized by a crisp, clacky, and resonant sound. The design of the switch housing is engineered to produce a satisfying, high-pitched tone that many enthusiasts prefer.
Unlike traditional switches that use physical metal contacts, these use a rare earth magnet to detect key presses. This allows you to customize the actuation point, providing faster response times and greater precision for gaming.
These switches require a keyboard specifically designed for magnetic or Hall Effect switches. They are not compatible with standard mechanical hot-swap sockets, as they rely on magnetic sensors rather than physical pins.
These switches are rated for 100 million keystrokes. Because they use magnetic sensors rather than physical contact leaves, they are generally more resistant to wear and tear than traditional mechanical switches.
