Frequently asked

Does the Gateron Apollo work in a regular mechanical keyboard?

No. The Apollo is a magnetic Hall-effect switch and needs a compatible magnetic PCB. It will not register on a standard mechanical board, and even some Hall-effect boards may not read it correctly due to manufacturing tolerances.

What does the magnetic design actually change?

Instead of a physical metal contact, the switch reports its position via a magnet and a sensor. That removes contact bounce and chatter entirely and lets a compatible board offer adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, and per-key travel tuning.

How heavy is the Gateron Apollo?

It is a light linear with a 35g initial force and 3.1mm of total travel, so it stays quick and easy to press all the way to the bottom.
