GATERON debuts at COMPUTEX 2025: From geek-exclusive to mass participation, exploring a new starting point for human-computer interaction

The three themed switch models launched by GATERON in 2025 attracted a lot of attention from the audience: the Magnetic Jade Ruby Switch, the Sakura Magnetic Switch, and the Magnetic Green Dragon Switch. In addition to technical upgrades, the switches also boast a more appealing design. Topics related to the three switch models have already surpassed 10 million views on short video platforms. GATERON not only focuses on switch performance parameters but also meets users' higher demands for visual details such as colour and texture.

GATERON's magnetic switch PCB series, ranging from the single GT60 to the GT60 PRO and Sakura customized models, is designed to build an open and sustainable ecosystem, provide diverse solutions for the customized keyboard industry, encourage gamers to upgrade from ‘replacing switches’ to ‘replacing PCB + drivers,’ and connect with the ‘Magnetic Jade Ecosystem’ to drive both software and hardware development.

It is worth mentioning that the GT60 series uses nano-coating waterproofing, which not only benefits gamers but also solves the key pain point of ‘liquid damage to keyboards’ for offline e-sports venues. There is also a ‘waterproof testing area’ at the exhibition booth, where the GT60 PRO continues to run stably even when submerged in water, perfectly meeting the needs of accidental liquid contact in daily use.

GATERON X Sikakeyb Sakura Collab Limited Edition is not only a customized expression of individuality, but also a viable path for customization to transition from a ‘niche craze’ to ‘mass participation.’ GATERON believes that the winners of the future will be brands that can satisfy both the desire for customization among enthusiasts and the ease of use demanded by the general public. Gradually shedding the label of ‘niche interest,’ the brand is penetrating into a broader consumer market. When technological iteration and user participation form a closed loop, perhaps everyone will be able to find their own unique input method.

At COMPUTEX 2025, GATERON showcased another possibility for the customization industry through its technological framework and ecological practices. From a niche market for tech enthusiasts to widespread public participation, GATERON's exploration not only validated the feasibility of scaling up customization but also provided the industry with a sustainable path that balances efficiency and creativity. When a keyboard becomes an open platform that embodies technology, aesthetics, and the spirit of collaboration, perhaps this marks the new starting point for the evolution of human-machine interaction tools.
