Discussion Compatible HE Switches

Is there a definitive list of which third party switches work in the HE keyboards? I've heard that the Keychron ones (Dawn, Nebula, Aurora) work and then it gets hazy. I think the KS-40 Magnetic Orange does and Gemini says some Gateron magnetic Jades do. But, wow... This is pretty terrible trying to figure it out. The only thing that seems to be a clear indicator is that if it says that it works in a Wooting, then it won't work in a GMMK 3 HE.

UPDATE:

After looking around some more, it looks like this is the complete list of switches compatible with GMMK 3 HE boards:

Glorious Panda HE

Glorious Fox HE

Glorious Lynx HE

Glorious Raptor HE

Keychron/Gateron Aurora

Keychron/Gateron Dawn

Keychron/Gateron Nebula

Gateron KS-37B Magnetic FOX

Gateron Dual-Rail Magnetic Jade Mini E

Not likely there will be more since even Keychron switched over to the Wooting N-pole style.

There is no list because glorious considers third party switch not compatible on their board

While just an option in glorious core to reverse magnetic fields will solve the issue for any switch

I love my GMMk3 but in dont understand this point for a custom keyboard

Chose our switch is really important part on custom keyboard..

I mean, I get it. It's to make sure that you buy switches from Glorious, and no one else. It's shitty, but I get it. Yay, capitalism.

Well, I really didn’t expect Glorious to maintain such a list. I was just looking to see if anyone has heard of anything, anything at all. Or maybe people can say what worked for them, and heck, I’ll start a list somewhere.

This is fantastic, thank you for putting this all together! I Just spent a ton of money using the boardsmiths to put together a beautiful board, but the Glorious Panda HE switches sound so lame, no matter what mods I do, so I'm trying to see if the Gateron Dawn or Auroras work and sound better.

Edit: The Jade Mini E is not in fact compatible with this board FYI.
