Compatibility & build notes

The Pro is a magnetic switch and relies on a compatible Hall Effect keyboard. GATERON specifically advises checking the keyboard’s magnetic orientation before purchase.

Pack quantity affects how many switches you receive, but it does not change the switch specification. The same real product image can therefore serve as the variation main image for pack-size variants.

Good to Know

A strong fit if you want

  • Hall Effect keyboard owners who want a smooth linear switch with a moderate starting force.
  • Players who value rapid adjustable actuation together with a stable back-covered switch design.
  • Buyers comparing GATERON Jade-series options and wanting the Pro model’s established magnetic configuration.

Trade-offs and compatibility checks

  • Designed for magnetic keyboards only; it is not a drop-in switch for conventional mechanical-only PCBs.
  • Actual sound depends on the keyboard plate, case, mounting system and keycaps, so acoustic character varies by build.
  • The official store’s pack options and promotions can change, so KeebPilot pricing remains draft-only until final review.

FEEL DIRECTION

A moderate Jade magnetic press

Jade Pro begins at 36±5gf and has 3.5±0.1 mm total travel. That gives it a more moderate starting feel and a longer stroke than Jade Ultra while keeping a linear magnetic response.

It is for buyers who want a light magnetic switch without choosing the lowest-resistance Jade option.

  • Hall Effect keyboard owners who want a smooth linear switch with a moderate starting force.
  • Designed for magnetic keyboards only; it is not a drop-in switch for conventional mechanical-only PCBs.

Choose Pro for a more moderate Jade feel.

WHAT MATTERS

Stability for a supported magnetic platform

The back-covered design, customised spring, and factory lubrication belong to Jade Pro’s magnetic construction. Their buyer relevance is a stable linear platform for a compatible keyboard, not a reason to assume identical results in every board.

The surrounding keyboard remains part of the final sound and feel.

  • Players who value rapid adjustable actuation together with a stable back-covered switch design.
  • Actual sound depends on the keyboard plate, case, mounting system and keycaps, so acoustic character varies by build.

BUILD FIT

Fit is determined by the keyboard platform

Jade Pro is not a conventional MX contact switch. Before ordering, verify that the keyboard supports the Pro and uses the required magnetic orientation.

After compatibility is confirmed, choose a pack count that matches the board’s actual switch positions.

  • Magnetic keyboard compatibility is required.
  • Confirm the required magnetic orientation before ordering.

Confirm magnetic-switch support and orientation first.

HOW TO CHOOSE

Pro or Ultra?

Choose Pro when the 36±5gf starting force and 3.5±0.1 mm travel suit a more moderate linear press. Choose Ultra for the lighter 30±5gf starting force and shorter 3.2±0.1 mm travel.

The difference is a meaningful feel choice within the same magnetic-keyboard requirement.

  • Pro starts at 36±5gf.
  • Ultra starts at 30±5gf.
  • Pro uses 3.5±0.1 mm travel; Ultra uses 3.2±0.1 mm.

Pro is the more moderate Jade option.
