Know before you buy
No, these magnetic switches require a PCB specifically designed to support Hall Effect (magnetic) sensors. They will not function on standard mechanical keyboards that use traditional metal contact pins.
Magnetic switches use Hall Effect sensors to detect key presses, allowing for adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger functionality. This provides a distinct advantage in gaming by allowing for faster, more precise inputs.
Yes, the 65-piece set is specifically curated to cover the requirements of most 60% and 65% keyboard layouts. Ensure your specific keyboard case and plate support the mounting style of your chosen variant.
The variants differ primarily in their internal spring weight, stem material, and factory lubrication, which collectively influence the typing sound and feel. For example, the Jade series is often noted for a distinct acoustic profile, while the FOCUS switches may offer a different resistance curve.
Most magnetic switch PCBs are designed for hot-swappable installation, meaning you can simply press them into the sockets. However, you should verify that your specific Hall Effect PCB supports the pin configuration of the switches you select.
