Special Note of Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro

Editor's Note: An elite evolution of the standard Magnetic Jade, the Pro version features a closed-back bottom housing engineered to produce an acoustic profile reminiscent of clicking mahjong tiles. Its boxed stem drastically reduces north-south and east-west wobble, providing immense keystroke stability during intense gaming. With rare-earth permanent magnets rated for 100 million actuations and an arc-shaped light guide, it stands at the apex of magnetic switch technology.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro 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 Pro has an operating force of 40 gf. That is a light switch feel suited to users who prefer easy keypresses.

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro 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 Pro has a total travel distance of 3.50 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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro include sound profile: Thocky, sound level: Medium. Case, plate, keycaps, and desk mat can still change the final keyboard sound.

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro is rated for At least 100 M cycles. Lifespan ratings are lab-cycle estimates, so real-world durability can also depend on build quality and usage.

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro 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 Pro include initial magnetic flux: 120.00 Gs, bottom-out magnetic flux: 700.00 Gs, magnet polarity: N-pole. These specs are mainly relevant for Hall Effect keyboards with compatible PCBs and firmware.
