Frequently asked

Does the Gateron Jade Magnetic HE 30g work in a normal keyboard?

No. It is a Hall effect switch that reports keypresses via a magnet rather than metal contacts, so it requires a board with magnetic Hall effect sensors. It will not register in a standard mechanical PCB, and even among magnetic boards compatibility can vary, so confirm your board supports it.

What does the adjustable actuation point do?

Because the switch senses magnet position continuously, a compatible board lets you set how far the key must travel before it triggers — shallow for fast gaming taps, deeper to avoid accidental presses. Many boards also add rapid trigger and analog input on top of that.

Is 30g too light for typing?

It is on the featherweight end. Gamers chasing speed will love the low effort, but if you bottom out hard or want more typing feedback, a heavier magnetic switch may suit you better.
