Gateron Magnetic Jade Linear Switches

This linear low-profile switch uses magnets to influence the bottom-out feel, making it suitable for users who want a smooth keystroke with a controlled, cushioned finish. It fits well for typists and gamers who prefer a consistent, quiet experience without tactile bumps. The reduced travel distance supports faster key presses, benefiting those who favor speed and responsiveness.

Feel & Sound

• Linear and smooth keystroke with no tactile feedback, allowing uninterrupted key presses.
• Magnetic bottom-out creates a softer, more controlled end of travel, reducing finger fatigue.
• Sound profile is quiet with a muted thock, suitable for office or shared environments.

Actuation Characteristics

• Short actuation and total travel distances enable faster input and quicker key resets.
• Initial force is moderate, requiring consistent pressure to avoid accidental presses.
• Magnetic flux influences the force curve near bottom-out, providing a subtle resistance before the key fully depresses.

Build Quality

• Durable construction designed for up to 100 million clicks, supporting long-term use.
• Unknown housing and stem materials, limiting detailed assessment of smoothness or sound impact.

Use Cases

• Good for users seeking a quiet, smooth linear switch with a cushioned bottom-out.
• Less ideal for those who prefer tactile or clicky feedback during typing.
• Suitable for fast-paced gaming and extended typing sessions due to low travel and consistent force.
