Kailh Choc Round Brown Low Profile

The Kailh Choc Round Brown 45g is arguably the best true low-profile tactile. My take on its bump, MX-cap compatibility, footprint caveats and value.

Frequently asked

Is the Choc Round Brown a good low-profile tactile?

Among genuinely low-profile tactiles, it is one of the best choices. It is noticeably better than standard browns and a big step up from the original flat-stem Choc tactiles, even if it is not as refined as boutique MX tactiles.

Will it fit my board?

Check the footprint carefully. The Round series has a unique centering peg and pin layout that does not fit every Choc PCB, so confirm your board supports Choc Round switches before buying.

Can I use MX keycaps?

It accepts low-profile MX-stem keycaps, which is a major convenience over the flat stems of the original Choc tactiles.
