Magnetic Jade Keyboard Switches, Mahjong Sound RGB Gaming Mechanical DIY Gaming Customized Hall Sensor Keyboard Switch(20PCS)

Gateron is an industry leader in keyboard switches, but you probably already know this if you are considering magnetic switches. First, you will need a magnetic keyboard, as these will not work on a standard mechanical keyboard. There are no wires for registering key presses, as these are only magnetic. The magnets in the PCB register the magnets in the switches and how far they have been pressed to know what action to perform. This is controlled by the software, which you will also need. It can just be a regular keypress used in typing, or a special function you use in gaming or music, or any other analog switch function. Analog? Yes, analog. There can be variable keys, like on a game pad, or on a music keyboard. You can program these switches to prepare a spell in an RPG by partially depressing the key, and not cast it until you fully press it. The choice is yours. And, it's Gateron!

These Jade switches bring a unique feel to my keyboard! These switches feature a hall sensor mechanism and offer a distinctive Mahjong sound, adding an interesting auditory element to your typing or gaming sessions. The RGB compatibility allows for vibrant backlighting effects. A ten pack is perfect to test these out, especially if you're figuring out which switches to buy for your keyboard. Overall, these switches are high-quality, with a unique sound!

First and foremost you need a compatible keyboard for these switches. These needed no lube out of the box, they were extremely smooth with a satisfyingly long travel time. The spring force is very satisfying without being straining to use. These look great with RGB lights as well. Very good linear switches.

I got these switches hoping that they would work with my mechanical keyboard, it uses the normal type of 5 pin, hotswappable switches. I was wrong, unfortunately. If I am able to get a board that supports hall-effect switches, then I will update the review. The switches do feel nice to type on, with a just the amount of resistance that I like. I installed them anyway, just to do a bit of typing to compare them to my Cherry Red MX2A.

As many pointed out, these only work with specific keyboards so double check if yours is compatible. I like how these feel, they are very smooth and the quieter type of keys. Overall a nice set.
