New RT Mechanical Switches that actually feel & sound like real mechanicals (no compromises)

We’ve been cooking something pretty cool in the lab — A brand-new mechanical switch utilizing RT technology.
Here’s the deal: it gives you the **exact same tactile feel and sound** as classic mechanical switches. Same satisfying bump, same thock, same everything you already love. But now it also packs in all the advanced magnetic switch goodies:
- Multi-stage actuation
- Rapid Trigger
- In-game instant stop (super quick release)[img]
Plus it supports next-level key mapping features like DKS multi-key synchronization and one-click combo execution.
On the hardware side, we added an extra metal pin so the RT functions work (full 3-pin design). We also developed our own dedicated 3-hole PCB that’s 100% compatible with standard 2-pin mechanical switches. That means you can randomly mix our RT 3-pin switches with regular mechanical ones on the same board — super flexible for custom builds.
The secret sauce is the physical cross-contact conduction structure. Unlike a lot of pure magnetic switches that sometimes drop out or fail, this one stays rock-solid while still keeping the low power consumption that traditional mechanical switches are known for.
Bottom line: it finally breaks the old limitations of regular mechanical switches and gives you the perfect balance — that premium mechanical typing experience + all the modern rapid-trigger gaming tech.
Feels like a real breakthrough. What do you guys think ?

Well, this seems like a neat idea. The question I now have to ask you is which bloody classical mechanical switch does it feel like? Alps SKCC? Those feel nice. Blue Alps? Delicious. IBM beam spring? IBM capacitive buckling springs? Elektronikas?

If you are talking about Cherry MXs, that's not something to brag about...

Hey mate, I can tell you’re a true connoisseur of the classics — I completely agree that the crisp metallic tactile feel of Blue Alps is legendary.
That said, RT mechanical switches are built to keep up with the times. Their purpose is to let the widely available MX-style switches enjoy the advanced functionality of magnetic switches. By combining the strengths of both, we give MX switches the authentic mechanical feel that magnetic ones lack, while the physical make-break contact also solves the common false-triggering and chatter issues that magnetic switches often suffer from.
As for the typing feel, we’re also working hard to achieve extremely smooth and refined tactility.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
