What 1.0 mm key travel actually means in daily use
Travel is the number buyers quote most often and understand least. Here is how 1.0 mm compares to 0.8 mm and 1.4 mm designs.
Key travel is the vertical distance a keycap moves before it actuates. On tablet keyboards the number sits between 0.8 mm and 1.4 mm, and it is the single largest driver of how a deck feels in the first ten seconds of use.
0.8 mm: shorter, quieter, but easier to mistype at speed
1.0 mm: the balance point for a 60 g actuation force — our choice for MagDeck
1.2–1.4 mm: more mechanical feel at the cost of deck thickness and weight
Stability matters more than travel: our scissor pair holds ±0.1 mm cap wobble
We keep 1.0 mm across the range so that a buyer switching from Folio to Pro does not feel a different keyboard.
