GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Linear Switch – Hall Sensor, Adjustable

GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch – Adjustable Linear Hall Sensor Switch

Take full command of your keyboard experience with the GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch. Engineered with advanced Hall Effect sensor technology, this linear mechanical switch lets you freely customize your actuation point and pre-travel distance — delivering a uniquely tunable feel that no traditional spring-based switch can match. Whether you're a competitive gamer, a power typist, or a keyboard enthusiast building your dream board, the Magnetic Jade Ultra is designed to perform exactly the way you want it to.

Key Features

• Hall Effect Magnetic Sensor: Contactless magnetic actuation eliminates wear over time, offering consistent, long-lasting performance keystroke after keystroke.
• Freely Adjustable Pre-Travel: Set your actuation point anywhere within the travel range for a completely personalized typing or gaming experience.
• Smooth Linear Action: No tactile bump, no click — just a buttery-smooth linear keystroke from top to bottom.
• 5 Color Options: Choose the variant that suits your build aesthetic and personal style.
• Plug-and-Play Ready: Works right out of the box with compatible magnetic keyboard PCBs — no additional tools required to get started.
• Premium Build Quality: GATERON's hallmark precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances and a satisfying, wobble-free keystroke.
• Gaming & Office Ready: Perfectly suited for both high-stakes gaming sessions and all-day office typing workflows.

Why Hall Effect Technology?

Traditional mechanical switches rely on physical contact points that degrade over millions of keystrokes. GATERON's Magnetic Jade Ultra uses a non-contact Hall Effect sensor — meaning the actuation is triggered by a magnetic field rather than physical contact. The result is virtually zero debounce delay, superior signal accuracy, and a switch that maintains its feel and responsiveness far longer than conventional alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch different from regular mechanical switches?

A: Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical contact points, the GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch uses a Hall Effect magnetic sensor for actuation. This contactless technology means no physical wear on the trigger mechanism, resulting in more consistent performance over time and a longer lifespan. It also allows you to freely adjust your actuation pre-travel point for a fully customized typing or gaming feel.

Q: Is the GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch compatible with my keyboard?

A: The Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch is designed for use with Hall Effect (magnetic) keyboard PCBs. It is not compatible with standard MX-style mechanical keyboard PCBs. Please verify that your keyboard or PCB supports Hall Effect switches before purchasing. When in doubt, check your keyboard manufacturer's specifications.

Q: How do I adjust the pre-travel distance on the GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch?

A: The pre-travel adjustment is done via your keyboard's firmware or software interface (compatible keyboards typically include a dedicated configuration tool or software). Once configured, the switch's Hall Effect sensor responds to the actuation point you set, giving you complete control over how deep or shallow the keystroke registers.

Q: Can I use the GATERON Magnetic Jade Ultra Switch for both gaming and everyday typing?

A: Absolutely. The smooth linear action and adjustable actuation make this switch highly versatile — ideal for rapid-fire gaming inputs as well as comfortable, extended typing sessions. Many users appreciate the ability to set a lighter actuation for gaming and a slightly deeper point for typing, all within the same switch.
