Gateron Magnetic Jade Silent is a silent linear magnetic hall effect switch from Gateron released in May 2026 with a 38 gf operating force and 2 mm pre-travel, 3.2 mm total travel, a manufacturer rating of At least 60 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: Magnetic keyboards are renowned for blazing gaming performance but often sound hollow or loud. Gateron solved this with the Magnetic Jade Silent by adding dual internal silicone rings to a circular POM stem. Keystrokes land with a pleasantly cushioned, quiet thump instead of an abrasive clack. With Rapid Trigger sensitivity down to 0.02 mm and smooth factory lubrication, you get competitive Hall-effect agility without waking up anyone in your household.

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Silent is a Magnetic Hall Effect switch from Gateron with a Silent Linear feel, so its keypress character is primarily defined by that mechanism and feedback style.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Silent has an operating force of 38 gf. That is a light switch feel suited to users who prefer easy keypresses.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Silent 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 Silent 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 Silent 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 Silent 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 Silent 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 Silent include sound profile: Muted, sound level: Low. Case, plate, keycaps, and desk mat can still change the final keyboard sound.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Silent is rated for At least 60 M cycles. Lifespan ratings are lab-cycle estimates, so real-world durability can also depend on build quality and usage.
The Gateron Magnetic Jade Silent 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 Silent include initial magnetic flux: 125.00 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.
