20. huhtikuu 2025

When it comes to choosing the perfect keyboard switches, it can be quite a journey. There's always that anticipation of finding something that not only meets but exceeds our expectations. And that's exactly what the GATERON Magnetic Jade Pro Keyboard Switch Set aims to do.

The GATERON Magnetic Jade Pro Keyboard Switch Set comes with some really impressive features. Firstly, let's talk about its technical specifications. It has an Initial Force of 36 ± 7gf, a Total Travel of 3.5 ± 0.2mm, and a freely setting Pre Travel. These details might seem small, but they play a huge role in the overall typing experience. The switches are also Pre-Lubed, which means you get that smooth action right out of the box. With a Typing Style that is Linear and a Lifetime of 100 million times keystrokes, you can be sure that these switches are built to last.

One of the standout features is its compatibility. It works with a wide range of keyboards including SteelSeries, Wooting, Corsair, and many more. This gives you the freedom to upgrade or switch to these switches without having to worry about compatibility issues. And if you're a fan of unique keyboard designs, the Back-cover Design is something to look forward to. It also offers a HIFI Mahjong Sound, which adds a nice touch to your typing or gaming sessions.

Another great aspect is that it effectively reduces Stem Wobble, improving the stability during operation significantly. This is a big deal as wobbly keys can be quite annoying and can affect your typing accuracy and overall comfort.

Now, let's take a look at what people are saying about these switches. Many users have praised them for working well and being a great option for HE switches. Some have tried other Gateron HE switch options and found these to be just as good, if not better, with a nice sound to boot.

Users also appreciate that these are Hall Effect switches, which are designed for more gaming-oriented keyboards. They are described as being pretty smooth, with a good factory lubing that makes them feel great to use. The switches are also noted for their sturdiness, sliding smoothly and providing a quality experience.

There are those who consider these switches to be excellent, with very nice factory lubing that gives a buttery smooth feel. However, it's important to keep in mind that these will only work with certain boards that are compatible with these magnetic hall switches, but that's a small trade-off for the quality they offer.

The new 'v2' version of these switches, like the GATERON KS-20 dual-rail orange switches, has resolved the issue of wobbly key stems that the previous version had. This means you can enjoy a more stable and reliable typing experience without any of the annoyance of wobbly keys.

In conclusion, the GATERON Magnetic Jade Pro Keyboard Switch Set seems to offer a great combination of features and quality. It addresses many of the common concerns that keyboard users have, such as compatibility, smoothness, and stability. Whether you're a gamer looking for a more responsive typing experience or someone who just wants a reliable and smooth set of switches for everyday use, these switches could be a great choice. So, if you're in the market for new keyboard switches, it might be worth giving these a try.
