What are magnetic switches?

They use magnetic sensing instead of a physical contact, so the keyboard can register a press at a depth you choose in software. That also enables rapid trigger, which resets the key the moment you release it.

Is a 60% layout hard to get used to?

It drops the number pad, arrow cluster and function row, so those keys move to layers reached with a modifier. Gamers adapt quickly; people who type numbers all day often do not.

Do I need software to use it?

The keyboard types out of the box, but the adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger are set through the brand's software. Expect to install it to get the features you paid for.

Does it work with consoles?

It is a wired USB keyboard aimed at PC use. Treat console support as unlikely and check the brand's compatibility list before buying for a PlayStation or Xbox.

Is it good for typing as well as gaming?

It works for typing, but the compact layout and tunable switches favor gaming. Writers who rely on arrow keys and a number pad should look at a 75% or full-size board instead.
