Overview
The Geon Raw HE is a magnetic, Hall effect linear switch designed by GEONWORKS. Instead of a metal contact leaf, it reads the stem's magnet with a Hall sensor, allowing analog, adjustable actuation on compatible keyboards; it ships factory lubed.
The housing pairs a polycarbonate top with a nylon bottom around a POM stem, and Geon's low-cavity mold is credited for its precision. A through-hole bottom housing with a bottoming pole shortens the travel, and its MX-style form fits standard keycaps.

The best magnetic switch I've tried in the PC top / POM stem / Nylon bottom combo. Being able to choose from three weights is a plus, and the vent hole in the bottom housing gives a pleasantly crisp, airy typing sound. At $0.48 a switch it's a bargain, too.
I haven't explored HE boards enough yet, so I can't really speak to board pairing. I used the 60g — it was the best for me, though gamers will probably want something lighter.
