Overview
The Geon Raptor HE is a linear switch from GEONWORKS built around Hall effect sensing. A magnet in the stem replaces the usual metal contact, so the keyboard reads key travel magnetically and the actuation point is set in software rather than by the switch. It is aimed at gaming and works only with Hall-effect keyboards such as the Wooting 60HE and Corsair K70 MAX, not Cherry MX boards.
The housing pairs a PA12 nylon top with a PA66 nylon bottom over a POM stem, and it ships factory-lubed.

The big open hole in the bottom housing means the bottom-out is almost silent, so it's quite quiet overall. Even so, the 52g weight is just right, and the 16mm spring — long for a magnetic switch — gives it a cushioned feel I like. I haven't explored magnetic-switch boards yet, so I can't speak to pairing. Some people might find it too quiet, so keep that in mind — but it isn't a silent design, so everything other than the bottom-out (the stem rails brushing, and so on) still sounds normally.
