Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction HE Linear

This linear switch offers a consistent and light keypress with equal actuation and bottom-out force, making it suitable for users who prefer smooth, predictable keystrokes without tactile bumps or abrupt impacts. It fits well for gamers or typists seeking a uniform feel throughout the key travel and those interested in magnetic Hall Effect technology for stable input detection.

Feel & Sound

• Provides a smooth, linear keystroke with no tactile feedback or mid-travel resistance.
• Actuation and bottom-out forces are equal, eliminating the typical increase in force near the bottom, which reduces finger fatigue and abrupt impact.
• Modular magnet and stem design improves sound clarity and depth, resulting in a cleaner acoustic profile compared to standard linear switches.

Actuation Characteristics

• Consistent 30g force from initial press to bottom-out delivers a uniform feel throughout the key travel.
• Total travel distance is standard, allowing familiar typing rhythm and timing.
• The magnetic Hall Effect sensing provides stable and precise actuation without physical contact, potentially increasing switch longevity.

Build & Compatibility

• Uses a dual-drive modular structure separating magnet and stem components, aiding sound and maintenance.
• Compatible with various keyboards supporting N-Pole Down magnetic switches, including brands like Wooting, Steelseries, Corsair, and others; verify compatibility before use.
• Includes factory lubrication, which can reduce scratchiness, but additional lubing effects are unknown.

Trade-offs

• Lack of tactile feedback may not suit users who prefer noticeable actuation points.
• Magnetic Hall Effect technology requires compatible hardware, limiting use with standard mechanical keyboards.
• Unknown long-term durability and sound changes after extended use.
