Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the GATERON Magnetic Jade a Hall Effect switch?

A: The GATERON Magnetic Jade uses a magnetic Hall sensor instead of traditional metal contact points to detect keypresses. This contactless mechanism means the switch never physically wears at the actuation point, delivering highly consistent performance and an exceptionally long lifespan compared to conventional mechanical switches.

Q: What does "linear" mean in the context of the GATERON Magnetic Jade switch?

A: A linear switch provides a smooth, even keystroke from top to bottom with no tactile bump or audible click mid-press. This makes it a popular choice for gamers who prefer fast, quiet actuation and typists who enjoy a fluid, uninterrupted key feel.

Q: What are the 7 axis body options for the Wall Stem?

A: The GATERON Magnetic Jade switch comes in 7 different axis body configurations, allowing you to select the stem variant that best suits your preferred actuation feel, travel distance, and keyboard build requirements. This level of customization makes it a top choice for custom mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.

Q: Is the GATERON Magnetic Jade switch compatible with standard keyboards?

A: These switches are designed for use with compatible mechanical keyboards that support hot-swap or soldered PCB installations using standard MX-style footprints. Always verify your keyboard's PCB compatibility before purchasing.
