Know before you buy
No. These are magnetic Hall effect switches and will only function in keyboards specifically designed to support magnetic switch technology. They are not compatible with traditional mechanical PCBs.
Because these switches use magnetic sensors rather than physical contacts, you can adjust the actuation point through your keyboard's software. This allows you to set a hair-trigger response for fast-paced gaming or a deeper press for more casual typing.
No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are designed to provide a smooth, consistent feel and a premium sound profile immediately upon installation.
The magnetic design eliminates the physical reset delay found in traditional mechanical switches. By removing the need for a physical contact leaf to reset, the switch can register inputs and resets almost instantaneously, which is ideal for competitive gaming.
These are linear switches, meaning they provide a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom without any tactile bump. With an initial force of 33gf and a bottom-out force of 47gf, they offer a light, responsive feel that is comfortable for long gaming sessions.
