Know before you buy
No. These are Hall Effect switches and are only compatible with keyboards specifically designed to support magnetic switch technology. They will not function in standard mechanical PCB sockets.
Because they use magnetic sensors rather than physical metal contacts, these switches offer a frictionless, silky-smooth travel. The 36g actuation force makes them feel light and responsive, ideal for fast-paced gaming or rapid typing.
No, these switches come factory-lubed and are ready for immediate use. The pre-applied lubrication is designed to enhance the high-pitched, resonant sound profile and ensure smooth operation right out of the box.
Hall Effect technology allows for precise magnetic actuation, which often enables features like adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger functionality in compatible keyboards. It also eliminates the physical wear associated with traditional metal leaf switches.
The glitter finish is primarily an aesthetic choice for the housing. While it adds a unique visual flair to your board, it is designed to work with your keyboard's existing RGB lighting to create a distinct, upgraded look.
