No, low profile HE switches do not exist. HE keyboard PCBs can also only accept HE switches. You also can't put low profile switches on a PCB made for regular MX switches anyway, since they have completely different pin layouts and simply wouldn't fit (not to mention stuff like the plate). The "closest" thing you can get to a low profile switch on the wooting is use an HE switch with slightly shorter travel distance, like the Gateron Magnetic Jades. They have a 3.6mm bottom out, as opposed to the standard 4mm bottom out. It's only a 0.4mm difference though. Answer from alterhuhu on reddit.com

r/WootingKB on Reddit: Do low profile HE magnetic switches even exist?
May 25, 2024 -

I'm a noob in "better quality" keyboards, never even had a mechanical before, let alone a Hall Effect one. I'm a casual gamer, and Wooting's rapid trigger appeals to me. I also like the attitude and vibe of the Wooting team - watched a couple of their live streams. I'm contemplating buying a 60HE or the new 80HE (since I'm also coding, thus arrow and edit keys come handy).

Problem is, I personally don't fancy the look and feel of the standard height switches and keycaps. I would prefer low profile switches and keycaps. If this is blasphemy in this sub, I apologize :)

I'm aware that it's possible to put low profile keycaps on standard height switches, but then the keycaps "float" and have a visible gap underneath, and the travel distance of the switch is still the same. I'm after "true" low profile switches with shorter travel distance, but with Hall Effect sensors, so they could be used for Rapid Trigger.

Does something like that even exist?

If so, would it be possible to put such low profile HE switches on a 60HE+ module, and use Wooting's software to set rapid trigger actuation points according to the shorter travel distance?

Thanks in advance for giving advice to a novice.

Gateron new magnetic switches: Jade Pro, Jade Max and low profile magnetic switches
Perhaps you know or someone else will chime in: Keychron’s Q1 HE states it is only compatible with Gateron Double Rail Magnetic Switches (which come in three different forces). The explicitly state the keyboard will not work with the Gateron Jades or KS-20. But I have searched around for Gateron double Rail Magnetic switches and the only place I can really find them is on Keychron’s website. I’ve also seen one report that the switches for the GMMK 3 Pro HE work in the Q1 HE, but the GMMK switches are terrible. So…what exactly are these Q1 switches. Are they something proprietary built only for Keychron? And what is it that makes only them work in a Keychron and not any other HE switch? And if anyone has experience with both can they compare the Q1 HE switches with the Magnetic Jades or other HE switches on the market?
