Comments on Geon Raptor HE V2 switches

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Air HE Switch features a fully transparent housing with a white stem for stunning RGB lighting effects. Its dual-rail design ensures zero stem wobble and precise, smooth linear movement – LumeKeebs.

Geon Raptor HE V2 switches are Hall-effect switches meaning that the actuation point of the switch is determined by the keyboard software due to its magnetic nature. These switches are only compatible with some keyboards that support hall effect. V2 now has a reduced total travel, longer spring, and changed top housing material – Divinikey.
