Know before you buy
No, these are Hall Effect magnetic switches designed exclusively for magnetic (HE) keyboards. They will not function in standard mechanical keyboards that rely on physical metal contact points.
The U-Rail design is engineered to stabilize the stem within the housing, which significantly reduces side-to-side stem wobble. This results in a more consistent, precise keystroke feel compared to standard magnetic switches.
These switches feature a light actuation force of 36±5gf. This makes them ideal for fast-paced gaming where quick, feather-light inputs are required to reduce finger fatigue.
No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are ready to install right out of the box for a smooth, consistent linear typing experience.
The housing is designed to sync with your RGB lighting. The glitter infusion creates a starlight effect that diffuses the light, adding a unique aesthetic flair without obstructing the brightness of your LEDs.
Because they use non-contact magnetic sensors rather than physical metal leaves, they are highly durable. These switches are rated for over 150 million keystrokes, significantly outlasting most traditional mechanical switches.
