Comments on lowprokb Choc (V1) Ambients Nocturnal switches
Ambients Silent Linear switches from lowprokb. The Nocturnal switch is a silent version of the Kailh Pro Pink Choc switch. The switch was born from a design by LowproKB - a company that specializes in anything and everything low profile and Choc - and manufactured by Kailh, the leading company in Choc switches.
The Ambients series are based on the original Kailh Choc V1 switch, but are a completely new design, having all their parts redesigned to accommodate the new components required to quieten the typical switch noise. Silicone bumpers have been strategically placed within the new design to buffer both the down and the up stroke of a keypress, all while not creating a mushy feeling while typing.
