Comments on LowproKB Choc (V1) Ambients Bokeh switches | Comments on Chosfox&Outemu Yichu switches |
The Bokeh switch is a 50g silent linear switch. It is essentially a silent version of the stock Kailh Red Choc switch, but with the new features and smoothness you have come to love in the Ambients line of switches – Darryl of LowproKB. The Kailh/LowproKB Bokeh is a silent low-profile linear switch from the Ambients family. Designed with Kailh engineers for full Choc V1 compatibility, it uses internal silicone bumpers to dampen both down- and up-strokes without the “mushy” feel typical of many silent designs. A heavier 50 g spring gives a more deliberate keypress while retaining the Ambients line’s smooth travel – mechboards. | No comments on Chosfox&Outemu Yichu switches. |
