Switches

This kit only supports:

This kit does not support:

  • Kailh Choc v2
  • Kailh Mini Choc
  • MX switches

Which switch do you recommend?

  • I think good starting switches are White and Red
  • White: I'd consider them tactile if you are coming from MX switches. Crisp with a light snick sound. These might be appropriate in an office setting especially if there is a background noise already. I use these
  • Red: linear, quite popular I think
  • Brown: often described as scratchy linears. I would tend to agree and instead recommend the white or red.
