Know before you buy
No, these are magnetic switches designed specifically for Hall effect keyboards. They will not function in traditional mechanical keyboards that rely on physical metal contact points.
The dual-rail system provides a more stable and consistent keypress by minimizing side-to-side movement of the stem. This results in a smoother, more precise feel compared to standard switches.
The diffuser helps soften and spread the RGB light coming from your keyboard's LEDs. You can remove it if you prefer a more focused, intense beam of light or keep it attached for a softer, more diffused glow.
Yes, the DustLock design creates a tighter seal around the stem to prevent dust and particles from entering the switch housing. This helps maintain the factory lubrication and ensures the switch remains smooth over time.
Magnetic actuation eliminates the need for physical metal contact leaves, which are prone to wear and oxidation. By using Hall effect sensors, the switch registers inputs without physical contact, significantly reducing the risk of missed inputs or chatter.
