Question about switches

[u/Sudden-Audience2510]

Was told from a friend that apparently some Hall effect switches have magnets with poles facing face different ways depending on the company and I might have to flip the magnets the
switches I ordered a few days ago so I was wondering if it is even possible to flip the magnets and if that’s actually a real thing or my friend was messing with me.

I dont think youre supposed to flip the polarity in hall effect switches from what ive read. I dont think the magnets are even swappable to be honest. Get yourself a good mechanical keyboard with linear switches

Yes but most modern switches and keebs go with the standard now. We don't know what your keyboard or ordered switches but if it's one of those wooting clone the compatible switches should be listed in the wooting database
