💚SwitchSmiths Pick💚

We chose this board because it’s one of the most affordable ways to experience magnetic switches without jumping into $200–$350 enthusiast boards.
If you type a lot, edit documents, write, or game — you will immediately notice the lighter feel and reduced finger fatigue.

🧲 What Makes This Keyboard Different? (Magnetic Switches Explained)

This keyboard does NOT use traditional mechanical switches.

Instead, it uses Hall-Effect magnetic switches.

A normal keyboard works when two metal contacts physically touch.
This keyboard works when a magnet passes a sensor — meaning:

✔ No physical electrical contact
✔ Smoother keystrokes
✔ Faster response
✔ Less wear over time

Because the key does not need to “bottom out” to activate, your fingers do less work. Many users describe it as easier to type on for long sessions.

Important:
Magnetic keyboards are very sensitive at first. If keys feel like they trigger too easily, you simply adjust the actuation depth in software — this is normal and expected.

⚙️ Adjustable Actuation & Rapid Trigger

• Adjustable activation point from 0.1mm – 3.4mm

• Rapid Trigger dynamic activation/deactivation

• Keys reset the instant you release them

• Much faster repeated key presses

• Ideal for both gaming and fast typing

You can set keys to activate with a light touch or a deeper press — your choice.

🎮 8K Hyper-Polling Performance

• 8,000Hz polling rate

• 0.125ms response time

• Detachable USB-C cable

• Extremely low input latency

Even outside of gaming, this makes the keyboard feel very responsive and “effortless.”

🔘 98-Key Layout + Control Knob

You get nearly a full-size keyboard in a more compact footprint.

• Dedicated number pad

• Media knob (volume & playback)

• Backlight brightness control

• Function row intact

• Saves desk space vs full 100% keyboard

Great for office use, spreadsheets, schoolwork, and writing.

🧠 PRCS Input Technology

• Multiple input processing modes

• Clean key registration

• Prevents conflicting inputs

• Consistent key recognition

(You don’t need to understand this to enjoy it — it just helps the keyboard interpret fast inputs accurately.)

🌈 Build & Feel

• Full-POM magnetic switches

• Smooth keystroke feel

• Hi-Fi “thocky” sound profile

• Shine-through RGB lighting

• Wired USB-C connection

This board feels very different from standard budget mechanical keyboards — softer, smoother, and more responsive.

💻 Software Compatibility

• Windows software support

• Web-based configuration available (works on other operating systems through browser)

You can:
• change actuation distance
• adjust lighting
• configure keys
