Remarks

• Kailh Low Profile switches are only compatible with keycaps that are made for them. They are not compatible with other keycaps, for example those for MX switches,
• All Kailh Low Profile switches have five pins: the two metal switch pins, a center post and two side posts which are part of the bottom housing. Only the Pro Red switch lacks the side posts, and thus is a three-pin switch.
• Side posts can be clipped using flush cutters if the keyboard doesn't support side posts. These days, most keyboards do support side posts.
• Side posts give some extra stability and alignment to switches, which is useful when hot swapping switches and when using a keyboard without a case.
