Frequently asked

Does the Gateron Magnetic Jade Air work in any keyboard?

No. It's a Hall Effect magnetic switch that needs a board with magnetic sensors, so it won't actuate in a standard mechanical PCB. Compatibility can also vary between magnetic boards, so confirm your keyboard supports Gateron magnetic switches before buying.

Can you adjust the actuation point?

Yes. On a compatible analog board the actuation is set by travel distance rather than a fixed contact, so you can dial in a hair-trigger feel for gaming or a deeper, more deliberate point for typing.

How heavy is the Jade Air?

It's a light linear — roughly 36g to actuate and about 50g at bottom-out — making it one of the easier magnetic options for long sessions.
