Kailh Choc v1 Switches

No, these switches use a specific low-profile stem design. While they feature a cross-mount, they are not compatible with standard MX keycaps due to the unique housing and travel requirements of the Choc v1 platform.

The Purple switches are linear, offering a smooth, consistent keystroke without tactile feedback at a light 25gf. The Navy Blue switches are clicky, providing both an audible click and tactile bump with a much heavier 60gf actuation force.

These switches have a total travel distance of 3mm and an actuation point of 1.5mm. This is significantly shorter than standard mechanical switches, which typically feature a 4mm total travel, resulting in a faster and more responsive feel.

Yes, Kailh Choc v1 switches require a PCB specifically designed for the PG1350 footprint. They will not fit into standard MX-compatible hot-swap or soldered sockets.

These switches are rated for 50 million cycles, which is the industry standard for high-performance mechanical switches. They are built to withstand years of heavy typing or gaming without significant degradation in performance.
