Switches
This kit only supports:
- Kailh Choc v1 PG1350 switches (deskthority.net)
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.
