Comments on Gateron Magnetic Jade Ultra switches | Comments on Geon Raptor HE V2 switches |
A revolutionary dual-drive architecture – Pioneering the split-structure magnetic switch. The permanent magnet and stem are decoupled into dual segments, where the upper section governs the keystroke, and the lower section activates the trigger. Dedicated mechanics working in concert, delivering unwavering stability from the initial to the bottom-out. Double-layer back-covered structure designed to recreate the classic sound and feel of mechanical switches, bring the premium acoustics experience – Gateron. | 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. |
