Comments on Kailh Choc (V1) White switches | Comments on Greetech Blue switches |
Kailh Low Profile Choc White switches are lower profile versions of your classical clicky MX switches. The V1 Choc White switches are only compatible with specific Choc PCB and keycaps. The V1 Choc White switches offer a similar feel and tactility to the Kailh Box Whites, but due to the low profile format have a lower actuation force and less travel distance. Despite the compact format these switches are still rated for over 50 million cycles. | No comments on Greetech Blue switches. |
