The Everglide x Unionwell Alkaid is a light linear Hall-effect magnetic switch for compatible gaming keyboards. With a 35 ± 5gf operating force and 3.2mm total travel, it is tuned for fast, smooth keypresses.
Magnetic actuation uses no metal electrical contacts at the actuation point. On compatible Hall-effect keyboards, you can set each key’s actuation point in the keyboard software. The POM stem and bottom housing pair with a PC top housing for a crisp linear return, while the dual arc-shaped light guide helps distribute RGB lighting evenly.

Compatibility — Read Before Ordering
These are not standard mechanical switches. They require a Hall-effect keyboard PCB and firmware that support this switch format. Hall-effect compatibility is not universal: switch mounting, magnet position, magnetic strength, and software support can differ between boards. Confirm compatibility with your exact keyboard before ordering.
