Sound on a build is driven by the combination of keyboard chassis, switches, keycaps and stabilizers rather than this component alone.
For a breakdown of how each piece contributes, see Switches 101 and Stabilizers 101.
Force-curve data applies to switches — see the spec tab for the switch this component is paired with.

TKL gasket-mount aluminum custom keyboard with a Hall-effect (HE) magnetic-switch PCB — accepts ONLY HE-compatible 3-pin magnetic switches; standard MX-style mechanical switches will NOT fit the proprietary magnetic sockets. Ships pre-installed with Akko AstroAim Hall-effect magnetic switches; cross-compatible with seven third-party N-pole magnetic switch families per the brand. HE-specific features include rapid trigger (0.005–2.500mm range), adjustable actuation point (0.100–3.300mm), Mod-Tap, Toggle Key, Dynamic Keystroke, and SOCD — all configured via the proprietary MonsGeek Cloud Driver (Win/macOS/Web). QMK and VIA are NOT supported on this PCB revision — HE analog firmware is incompatible with VIA's digital keymap model. Tri-mode connectivity: wired USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4GHz wireless dongle (8K polling rate on wired/2.4G modes; 32K scanning rate). Includes Cherry-profile PBT double-shot side-printed shine-through keycaps and pre-lubed demagnetized plate-mount stabilizers.
