Magnetic Switches Selection FAQ
</div>
</div>

<div class="dk-col-faq-grid">

<!-- Question 1 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">I'm new to magnetic switches. Which one should I start with?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">We highly recommend starting with either the <strong>Kailh Lychee</strong> or the <strong>Gateron Magnetic Spark</strong>. Both are standard 35gf linear magnetic switches featuring broad keyboard compatibility and enthusiast-grade performance at an approachable price. They are perfect for verifying if your keyboard supports magnetic technology and helping you get hands-on with Rapid Trigger (RT) software tuning before you decide to upgrade to premium variants.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 2 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">What is the main difference between magnetic switches and traditional mechanical switches?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">Unlike standard mechanical switches that rely on physical metal contacts, magnetic switches leverage <strong>Hall Effect sensors</strong> to track a magnet's exact depth. This unlocks <strong>Rapid Trigger (RT)</strong> technology, allowing you to customize actuation and reset points down to a blistering 0.01mm–0.1mm. While they deliver near-zero latency and unprecedented responsiveness, they are <em>only</em> compatible with specialized magnetic (Hall Effect) keyboards and cannot be used on standard mechanical keyboards.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 3 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">How do I know if my keyboard supports magnetic switches?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">Your keyboard must be explicitly designed for <strong>Hall Effect (HE) or magnetic switches</strong> (e.g., Wooting, SteelSeries Apex Pro, NuPhy Field HE, MelGeek, Rakka, etc.). Standard mechanical keyboards, hot-swap keyboards with optical sockets, and regular optical boards are <strong>not compatible</strong>. Please check your keyboard's user manual or contact our support team to verify compatibility before making a purchase.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 4 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">Which magnetic switch in this collection is best for competitive FPS gaming (Valorant / CS2)?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">We highly recommend the <strong>Kailh Magnetic God</strong> (optimized for 0.01mm RT precision) or the <strong>GravaStar UFO</strong> (supporting up to 0.005mm extreme RT sensitivity). Both switches are engineered for competitive gaming, featuring ultra-stable magnetic fields and rapid rebound springs. They are the ultimate choices for players seeking instantaneous counter-strafing, pinpoint stopping accuracy, and zero input lag.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 5 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">Which switch offers the best sound profile for typing or that signature "Thock" acoustic?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">The <strong>Wuque Studio Flux Series</strong> (including Heart of the Ocean, Deep Clacky, and Clacky RGB) is acoustics-focused, utilizing an innovative dual-magnet design that delivers a deep, satisfyingly solid bottom-out sound without any scratchiness. If you want extreme Rapid Trigger performance paired with a rich typing experience, this is your go-to. Alternatively, the <strong>TTC x MCHOSE Noble Horse</strong> comes pre-tuned with dynamic acoustic adjustments for highly customizable sound options.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 6 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">Are there any tactile options in this magnetic switch collection?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">Yes, we carry the <strong>Gateron Magnetic Jade Emerald</strong>, which is a premium tactile magnetic switch (55gf actuation) featuring a crisp, pronounced tactile bump. It is perfect for enthusiasts who demand satisfying physical feedback for typing while still unleashing the full power of custom Rapid Trigger actuation. Most other options in this collection are smooth linear switches.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 7 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">How many switches should I purchase for my keyboard?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">Typical keyboard layouts require: 65% layouts (~68 switches), 75% layouts (~84 switches), TKL/80% layouts (~87 switches), and full-size layouts (~104 switches). We strongly advise purchasing <strong>an extra 5 to 10 switches as a buffer</strong>. This covers any accidental bent pins during installation, saves you shipping costs if you need a replacement later, and protects against future out-of-stock situations.</div>
</div>

<!-- Question 8 -->
<div class="dk-col-faq-item">
<div class="dk-col-faq-question">Do these magnetic switches require manual lubing?</div>
<div class="dk-col-faq-answer">Most of the magnetic switches we offer come <strong>professionally factory-lubed (Pre-Lubed)</strong> right out of the box, eliminating spring ping and scratchiness for an incredibly smooth feel from day one. While they are completely ready to plug and play, some hobbyists choose to hand-lube them for a more customized feel. Please check the individual product pages for specific lube recommendations.</div>
