The Glorious Switch Family

Linear? Tactile? Clicky? We’ve got you covered with our extensive lineup of custom keyboard switches available in mechanical (MX) and magnetic (HE) styles!

Mechanical (MX)

Mechanical switches connect to the keyboard via external metal pins. Pressing them causes physical contact inside the switch to close a circuit, sending a signal through the external pins to the keyboard.

While their plug-and-play nature with hotswap boards makes them versatile, the reliance on internal contact confines functionality to a simple on/off action.

Glorious Fox Switch Specs: Actuation Force 40g, Bottom Out 50g, Sound Level Low

Magnetic (HE)

Magnetic switches may resemble mechanical ones, but without the pins! Instead, they harness the power of magnets, tracked by special Hall Effect sensors in specially equipped keyboards, like our GMMK 3 HE.

No physical contact means a longer lifespan and lets you tap into advanced features like sensitivity tweaks and Rapid Trigger—because science and magnets make everything better.
