Comments on Kailh Choc (V1) Red switches | Comments on Kailh Choc (V1) Pro Pink switches |
Kailh Low Profile Choc Red switches aim to replicate the feel of traditional linear switches, but with a more size conscious footprint and height. These V1 switches are not compatible with traditional MX switch PCBs or keycaps, requiring kits that are specific to low profile switches. These linear switches are very close in feel to Kailh Box Reds, but with a much shorter actuation and bottom out point. Comes with a clear ABS top housing, opaque black nylon bottom and an unknown stem material. | Kailh Choc Pro Pink switches are an incredibly light Low Profile switch. At only 20g actuation force, these provide almost no resistance when actuated, making them perfect for people who enjoy a much softer typing experience. Comes with a clear ABS top housing and grey nylon bottom. Please note that V1 Choc switches are not compatible with MX PCBs or Keycaps. |
