Gateron Magnetic HE Spark Linear Switches

The Gateron Magnetic HE Spark Linear is a high-performance keyboard switch designed for enthusiasts seeking a smooth, contactless keypress experience. Utilizing magnetic sensors instead of traditional physical contacts, this switch delivers precise actuation and exceptional durability, making it ideal for demanding typing and gaming environments.

Magnetic Hall Effect Technology

This switch employs magnets and sensors to detect keypresses, eliminating the need for physical electrical contacts. This innovative approach offers several advantages:

• Smoother keypresses without bounce or chatter
• Reduced wear and tear, resulting in a longer lifespan
• Adjustable actuation point based on distance traveled, not fixed location
• Rated for up to 100 million operations
