What’s the Difference Between the Year of Dragon V1 and V2 Magnetic Switch Keyboards?

Higher Trigger Precision

• V1: 0.1mm resolution

• V2: Upgraded to 0.01mm, allowing finer customizations and more precise key activation

Faster Scan Rate (Internal Check Rate)

• V2 uses a 32KHz scan rate (32,000 scans/sec), much faster than V1

• Note: This is different from Polling Rate, which is how often your PC checks the keyboard

RT Stabilization Added in V2

• A smart filtering algorithm that prevents key dropouts at high sensitivity

• Filter strength is user-adjustable to balance speed and stability

Roar Mode Removed (and Improved)

• V2 drops the old Roar mode

• Now uses multiple MCUs to achieve 32KHz by default, which is faster and more stable

Magnetic Pole Compatibility Changed

• V2 supports N-pole-down switches only

• Older V1 supported S-pole-down only

• V2’s higher precision requires correct pole direction and proper calibration in the driver

• Predefined profiles available for common switches like Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro, TTC Uranus, etc.

Gamepad Mode Removed in V2

• Removed due to limited use cases and lack of XInput support
