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. | Kailh Choc Robin switches are a light Low Profile clicky switch. They come with the same click bar as the White switches, but with less actuation force required. This results in a softer, smoother typing experience with the same satisfying "click" on actuation – mechboards. |
