Comments on OWlab Ti HE (50g) switches | Comments on Geon Raptor HE V2 switches |
The Ti He Magnetic switch is OWlab's first HE switch release. Compatibility: HE Magnetic switches are only compatible with Hall Effect PCBs, including but not limited to Wooting HE+, KBDfans HE series, Geonworks HE PCBs, Rakka, Nuphy, Melgeek, Matrix Lab HE kit, and others. The Ti HE Magnetic switches are not compatible with MX mechanical switch PCBs – Unikeys. | 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. |
