Designed by MoErgo and manufactured by Kailh, these silent switches bring peace and quiet to your desk. These are one of the first tactile Choc switches on the market that are virtually silent.

Based on the Kailh Choc v1 form-factor, these switches saw many changes and improvements to quieten typical switch noise. A set of silicone bumpers on the stem dampen the sounds made by both the down- and upstrokes. The stem, case and spring were modified to achieve a more consistent movement. The stem is factory-lubed for a more consistent and smooth feel, which helps bring out the intended smooth tactility of the switch.

Instead of a translucent top housing, these switches use a dedicated clear insert which allows the per-key RGB LEDs of your keyboard to shine through without altering the colours.

Because of the Kailh Choc v1 form-factor, these switches are perfect alternatives for existing kits and keycaps which support Kailh v1 switches.

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.
• These Kailh Low Profile switches have five pins: two metal switch pins, a center post and two side posts which are part of the bottom housing.
  
• 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.
