Low Profile Key Switches
Kailh Choc Red
These Red switches are likely what you are most used to typing on, if you are used to laptop keyboards. Reds are linear in actuation, meaning that it's one smooth ride all the way down and then back up again.
Many people like Red switches for their consistent feel and weight.
Technical specs:
Force: 50±10gf
Actuation: 1.5±0.5mm
Travel: 3.0±0.5mm
Kailh Choc Light Blue (gChoc)
These super light, linear switches are a favorite of many typists with a light touch. At just 20g, it doesn't take much force at all to actuate these switches. But be careful! While some typists love the feeling of typing on thin air, others find that accidental presses are too easy on switches light as these.
These switches are very popular amongst the minimalist community, and we often see them ordered on keyboards like the Ferris Sweep.
Technical specs:
Force: 20±10gf
Actuation: 1.5±0.5mm
Travel: 3.0±0.5mm
Kailh Choc Brown
These Brown switches are the most popular tactile switches for low profile keyboards. If you want a typing experience with a little more personality, a tactile switch like these will provide some additonal feedback as you type.
When typing on these switches, you'll feel a slight bump right around the point of actuation.
Technical specs:
Force: 60±10gf
Actuation: 1.5±0.5mm
Travel: 3.0±0.5mm
Kailh Choc White
These White switches are the most "poppy" of our lineup. Similar to Brown switches, White switches have a tactile bump halfway down, but White switches also emit an audible "click" at the same time. This makes for an immersive typing experience.
People love or hate these switches. Usually it's the typists who love them, and the bystanders who hate them!
