Frequently asked
Does the Gateron Magnetic Jade Ruby work in a regular mechanical keyboard?
No. It is a Hall Effect switch that senses position through a magnet rather than metal contacts, so it only works on dedicated magnetic / analog PCBs. Even among magnetic boards, compatibility varies, so confirm your PCB supports Gateron's magnetic switches before buying.
How heavy is the Jade Ruby?
It is on the light side — roughly 36g at the actuation point and about 50g at the bottom, paired with a 3.5mm total travel. That makes it well suited to fast gaming presses and long typing sessions without fatigue.
Do magnetic switches need lubing?
Generally no. With no metal leaf to overcome and a smooth stem, the Jade Ruby feels clean out of the box, and many magnetic boards rely on tight stem-to-magnet tolerances that hand lubing can disturb.
