This is by far the best explanation and showcase of the Kailh choc v1 switches that I have come across. I only wish it hadn't taken me so long to find it!
Great review! BTW, if anyone looks for these and has trouble finding them, they're actually called "Kailh Choc", not "Kailh Chocolate"-though the longer form is definitely more appetizing. 😋
Just came across the video (linked from reddit). Amazing! I am wondering about getting kailh choc and had a lot of questions. This video solved a lot of them! Thanks =)
thank you for this vid! just ordered a tester to see which works for me, ive been meaning to find a hobby and building a keyboard from scratch sounds like it can occupy me for a couple months
You will need to contact Keychron for compatibility statements. However, I would not expect it to work. The stems are MX stems, while the Kailh chocs have their own stem type. I am not sure what the spacing is or the footprint of the Gateron optical or low profile switches. I have seen mention that they are derived form the Kailh choc v2, but those have a slightly different pin pattern than the Kailh choc v1.
man from my experience pro reds are NOT light. if you want light light blue/purpz are better, and pinks as well although its too soft yeah. what kills me about the pro reds is the sensation post first press, it gradually feels too heavy for me super fast which is really weird since my membrane has a activation force of 60g- yet pro reds felt much heavier than that once you go towards the actuation point. lets not even talk about how they feel one you bottom out. but yeah man maybe mechanicals arent for everyone. light membrane boards ive heard of are the now discontinued microsoft sculpt keyboard and the evga z12

This video is PERFECT.
Very pro, very clear, and even a little ASMR.
👌
Very nice overview of the different varieties, thank you!

The problem I face - there no silent low-profile switches
Brown? 🤔
@@user-om2kp6ug7j I found "Sunset Tactile Choc Switches" - they're quite silent and smooth

Best low profile switches so far. Looking for new keyboards with these.
thank you for this great overview
Kailh need to pay you. Thank you!
Are low profile Kailh switches compatible with low profile Keychron keyboards? Thanks, great video.

@@controllerworks Thanks for your quick answer, i really appreciate.
Where did you get that corne case? Looking for something different for my corne choc build.
Great video but cracked me up how you are wearing gloves to press buttons on a keyboard
is there any keyboard out there with the Kailh Choc red switch

Where did you get the choc lube station? 👀
It is a lube station for MX switches. It works just fine with Chocolate switches. I got it from a China-based vendor. I cannot recall the name.
