Frequently asked
What is a low-profile switch for?
It's shorter than a standard MX switch — 3.2mm total travel here — so it fits slim, laptop-style keyboards and low-profile builds where a normal switch would sit too tall.
How strong is the bump?
It's a light, gentle tactile bump similar in spirit to a Cherry Brown, just on a shorter stroke that actuates quickly at 1.5mm.
Are low-profile switches as smooth as full-size ones?
Generally a touch less so — the shorter travel and compact internals give less room for refinement — but the Low Profile Brown is perfectly comfortable for daily typing.
