Gateron Moonlight Magnetic HE Linear Switches

The Gateron Moonlight Magnetic HE Linear switch is a high-performance keyboard switch designed for enthusiasts seeking a smooth, contactless typing experience. Utilizing magnetic Hall Effect technology, it delivers precise actuation and exceptional durability, making it ideal for both gaming and professional use.

Magnetic Hall Effect Technology

This switch operates using magnets rather than traditional physical contacts. The magnetic actuation ensures a smoother keypress, eliminating issues like key bounce and chatter that can occur with conventional mechanical switches. This technology provides a more consistent and reliable typing experience.

• Initial magnetic flux: 120Gs
• Bottom out magnetic flux: 700Gs
• Contactless actuation for improved longevity
• Requires a compatible magnetic or Hall Effect PCB

Linear Typing Feel

The switch features a linear feel, offering a smooth and uninterrupted keypress from top to bottom. There is no tactile bump or audible click, making it suitable for users who prefer quiet and consistent keystrokes.

• Stem type: MX
• Feel: Linear
• Mount type: Plate mount

Force and Travel Specifications

Engineered for comfort and responsiveness, the switch has carefully balanced force and travel characteristics. This makes it suitable for both rapid key presses and extended typing sessions.

• Initial force: 35g
• Bottom out force: 50g (50 cN)
• Force variance: 10 cN
• Total travel distance: 3.5mm

Premium Materials and Construction

Built with high-quality materials, the switch ensures durability and a premium feel. The combination of a POM stem, polycarbonate top housing, and nylon bottom housing contributes to its smooth performance and longevity.

• Stem material: POM (white color)
• Top housing material: Polycarbonate (clear color)
• Bottom housing material: PA66 nylon (black color)
• Spring: 20mm stainless steel

Durability and Compatibility

Designed for extended use, the switch is rated for up to 100 million operations. It is plate-mounted and compatible with select magnetic or Hall Effect PCBs. Due to manufacturing differences, compatibility with all magnetic keyboards is not guaranteed.

• Rated for 100 million actuations
• Plate mount design
• Not compatible with standard mechanical keyboard PCBs
• May not fit all magnetic or Hall Effect keyboards
