Overview
The TTC Elf King HE is a magnetic, Hall-effect linear switch. Instead of a physical metal contact it registers keypresses through magnetic sensing, which lets its actuation point be adjusted in software on compatible Hall-effect keyboards such as Wooting and similar boards. It ships factory lubed for a smooth, scratch-free travel.
Built around a POM stem, it is described by sellers as creamy and clacky in sound, and is positioned for both gaming and everyday typing.

Pros: for a magnetic switch it gets fairly close to a koto-koto clatter, though still far from what a true mechanical switch produces; it's light, so typing is quick and snappy; and like a good HE switch it's very smooth. Con: there's some dissonance in the sound, so it isn't a truly clean tone — a shame; I prefer the clearer sound of the Gateron Spark or TTC Horse. Overall, magnetic switches are evolving so fast that by today's standard this one feels a step behind — it comes up short next to the top tier like the Spark, TTC Horse, or KeyTok Nova. Pairs well with clacky boards. No particular caveats.
