Kailh CHOC Low Profile Red Linear Key Switches - 10-pack

For creating your unique custom keyboard, these Kailh Choc Low Profile Linear Red mechanical key switches are extremely slim. Compared to MX compatible switches, they have an ultra - low profile. Remember, these switches are not MX compatible! Their pin arrangement is different, so they can't be used in 'MX' sockets, PCBs, or with MX keycaps. However, they offer a much lower profile and a smooth linear keystroke. They come in a pack of 10, enough for a small keyboard or you can buy multiple packs to build a full - sized one. These switches work well with CHOC mechanical key sockets, allowing you to avoid soldering. Key features include: Linear type, Operating force of 50 gf (+/-10 gf), Pretravel of 1.5 mm (+/- 0.3 mm), and Total travel of 3.0 mm (+/- 0.3 mm).

Using these Kailh Choc Low Profile Red Linear Key Switches is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible keyboard PCB or socket. If you're using CHOC mechanical key sockets, you can simply insert the switches without soldering. For building a custom keyboard, start by placing the switches in the appropriate positions on the PCB or socket. Then, attach the keycaps on top. Remember, these switches are not compatible with MX sockets, PCBs, or keycaps, so don't try to use them together. To maintain your switches, keep them clean from dust and debris. You can use a can of compressed air to blow away any dirt. If you notice any decrease in performance, check for any foreign objects stuck in the switches. With proper use and maintenance, these switches will provide a smooth typing experience for a long time.
