Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction is a linear magnetic hall effect switch from Gateron released in September 2024 with a 30 gf operating force and 2 mm pre-travel, 3.2 mm total travel, a manufacturer rating of At least 150 million keystrokes, and support for adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger on a compatible Hall-effect keyboard.
Three focused profiles from published switch specifications. No overall score is generated because feel and use case are personal.
Measures actuation, travel, and force. Shorter, lighter movement favors speed. Advanced input features add capability.
Measures bump or click intensity. It uses feel type and tactile-force rise. Higher scores mean stronger feedback.
Measures published lifespan evidence. It uses documented construction details. It does not predict real-world reliability.

Editor's Note: Most magnetic switches get heavier as you compress the spring, but Gateron counterbalanced the Jade Attraction with a three-phase magnetic ring to keep resistance at a flat 30gf from top to bottom. In hands-on testing, reviewers note a subtle magnetic catch right at the top that feels almost like a gentle tactile bump before giving way to an effortless glide. Its closed-bottom chamber produces a loud, crisp clack rather than the usual muted thock, and its 0.02mm Rapid Trigger resolution is razor sharp. Just be sure your keyboard supports N-pole magnetic switches, as it won't work in mechanical PCB sockets.

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction is a Magnetic Hall Effect switch from Gateron with a Linear feel, so its keypress character is primarily defined by that mechanism and feedback style.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction has an operating force of 30 gf. That is a light switch feel suited to users who prefer easy keypresses.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction has a minimum actuation point of 0.10 mm. Shorter actuation distances usually feel quicker because the key registers earlier in the press.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction has a total travel distance of 3.20 mm. Total travel describes the full stroke from rest to bottom-out.
Rapid Trigger is a compatible-keyboard firmware feature rather than a stand-alone switch feature. Published compatibility for the Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction lists Rapid Trigger as yes and adjustable actuation as yes with a documented Rapid Trigger reset distance of 0.02 mm. A supported Hall-effect keyboard and its firmware are required.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction is listed as documented pin count, MX keycap compatibility is yes, and hot-swap compatibility is yes. Always match the switch pins and keyboard PCB/socket before buying.
Yes. The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction is listed as factory lubed. Factory lubrication can affect out-of-box smoothness and sound, but its effect can vary with the keyboard build and keycaps.
Available sound-related specs for the Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction include sound profile: Clacky, sound level: Medium. Case, plate, keycaps, and desk mat can still change the final keyboard sound.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction is rated for At least 150 M cycles. Lifespan ratings are lab-cycle estimates, so real-world durability can also depend on build quality and usage.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction lists top housing: PC, bottom housing: Nylon, stem: POM. These parts influence feel, sound, wobble, and long-term switch consistency.
Available magnetic specs for the Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction include initial magnetic flux: 150.00 Gs, bottom-out magnetic flux: 570.00 Gs, magnet polarity: N-pole. These specs are mainly relevant for Hall Effect keyboards with compatible PCBs and firmware.
