Product Description
Give your keyboard a slimmer look with these NovelKeys x Kailh Low-Profile Choc Thick Click switches. Designed to sit lower in the case, they drastically reduce the height of any keyboard for a sleeker, more subtle look Read More
Wonder how feasible it would be to print out a "plug" with a MX stem on it to stick onto these.....
Or I guess at that point, a whole new slider with MX stem even...
hampuskYes. They should be the same cut out size as MX switches. I think Novelkeys has dimensions on their site. The pins are not in the same spot as MX though. You would have to hand wire or create your own pcb.
Edit: mobile typos.
Why is the shipping to eu so expensive for 70 switches? It is $21.50, but for the alt keyboard shipping to EU is only $7.38 and that is both bigger and heavier.
P1MPBOT5000You shouldn't try to plug these switches into a wall outlet because when you press the switch, you will cause a short, possibly damaging other electronics in your house.
Instead, you should get a PCB that supports Cherry ML switches, as well as Cherry ML keycaps and a keyboard case, and then solder these switches onto the PCB and assemble a keyboard.
I recently got a keyboard that uses Kailh low-profile switches and I honestly quite like it. But that was a whole keyboard...
Honestly I would have preferred to build my own but I can't find any decent options for PCBs or cases. There are a few ortholinear macropad kind of things but that's about it. Which makes me wonder: What do people even do with these switches if they buy them loose?
If that's what you like fine but it's not for me. I just want a normal 60 or 65% keyboard that supports low profiles. You would think that wouldn't be hard with how many 60% PCBs there are out there but apparently it is...
Caution: Be sure you can get keycaps for this. I just looked and it appears to be hard to find a keycap set, other than what Novelkeys offers and it looks like ISO is the only option...feel free to correct me.
Hey everyone,
There was a pricing error at checkout indicating that 110 pcs would be +$0, the +$15 was not reflected correctly. Everything is fixed and you should see the difference now. Thank you all for supporting this drop.

So I bought a set of Low Profile Pale Blue switches that are supposed to have 70g operating force a few months ago.
Looking at Choc Navy‘s force travel diagram, it’s exactly the same as Pale Blue switches.
Is ‘Thicker Clickbar’ the only difference Choc Navy have over Pale Blue?
Yup. I think I’ll swap out the switches that will come with OLKB Planck Light right away to these but, hopefully, OLKB would have hotswap sockets by then so that I have to desolder only once.
