TTC Dragon Lord Magnetic HE

Quick Summary

The TTC Dragon Lord Magnetic HE is a light, smooth Hall-effect linear with an all-POM build and a ventilated housing. Like all magnetic switches it uses sensors instead of contacts, so actuation is software-adjustable and free of bounce or chatter. If you have an analog board and want a self-lubricating POM feel with a brisk 20mm spring, it’s a strong mid-budget pick — provided your PCB is compatible.

Specs and Feel

This is a light magnetic linear with a 3.4mm total travel on a 20mm spring. It starts at roughly 35g of initial force and ramps from 90Gs initial magnetic flux to 480Gs at bottom-out, the figures the board’s sensors use to set your actuation point. The standout is the fully POM construction — POM stem in a POM housing is naturally self-lubricating and slick, giving a smooth, slightly muted glide. Ventilation holes in the housing and stem aid heat dissipation, and the longer 20mm spring delivers a noticeably springy rebound that suits fast double-taps. With no physical contacts, the keypress stays consistent and chatter-free.

Tuning

Magnetic switches are tuned in firmware, so set your actuation depth and rapid-trigger sensitivity in software rather than reaching for lube. The all-POM build is already smooth and self-lubricating, so there’s little to gain from disassembly. If you hear spring ping from the long 20mm spring, a light spring lube is the one mod worth doing; keep lube away from the stem and magnet path so you don’t disturb the travel reading.

Verdict

Buy the Dragon Lord if you want a light, smooth, full-POM magnetic linear with a snappy spring and you run a compatible HE board. Against TTC’s lighter Elf King it feels a touch more substantial and benefits from the longer spring’s rebound, while the Black Horse offers similar specs with zodiac styling. Skip it if your keyboard isn’t magnetic — and always confirm your board’s compatibility list, since HE switches aren’t universally cross-compatible.
