Similarities and Differences

Both the Gateron Magnetic Jade and the Wuque WS Dash HE switches are manufactured by Gateron and share similar construction materials, including PC top housing, nylon bottom housing, and POM stems. They appear visually identical, with similar mold designs across their components. However, there are notable differences between these two switches:

Stem Color and Spring Weight: The Gateron Magnetic Jade has a white stem with a 50g bottom-out force, while the Wuque WS Dash HE has a purple stem with a 55g bottom-out force.

Switch Sound

Due to their similar materials, both the Gateron Magnetic Jade and the Wuque WS Dash HE have similar sound profiles characterized by a full and poppy mid-range bottom-out sound (possibly due to the nylon bottom housing) and a sharp yet thin top-out sound (possibly due to the harder PC top housing). However, the Gateron Magnetic Jade has a thinner and relatively quieter top out than the Wuque WS Dash HE which has a harder and slightly louder top out.

Gateron Magnetic Jade: The bottom-out sound is full and rich in the mid-range. The top-out sound is sharp but less pronounced possibly due to the lighter spring.
Wuque WS Dash HE: The bottom-out sound remains similar to the Gateron Magnetic Jade, but the top-out is slightly louder and more distinct possibly because of the heavier spring.

Here are some sound tests:

Switch Feel

Both the Gateron Magnetic Jade and the Wuque WS Dash HE feel cleaner to type on relative to any current magnetic switches that come stock with the HE gaming keyboards. They have significantly less stem wobble than other magnetic switches and significantly tighter housings (possibly because their top housing has two more anchors that latch on to the bottom housing in addition to the typical four latches). Both the Gateron Magnetic Jade and the Wuque WS Dash HE also have a more solid feeling bottom out, which might be because their bottom housings are fully enclosed whereas some magnetic switches have open bottoms.

Due to the differences in spring weights, the Gateron Magnetic Jade feels slightly lighter to type on and the Wuque WS Dash HE feel slightly heavier to type on.

Gateron Magnetic Jade and the Wuque WS Dash HE feel comfortable to type on without worrying about unnecessary fatigue, which is perfect for gamers and seasoned enthusiasts.
