Kailh Choc Brown V1
TactileThe tactile Choc: a small, sharp bump compressed into 3.0 mm of low-profile travel. Feedback for ergo typists who don't want to give up the slim form factor.
Sound & feel
Choc V1 Brown fits a tactile event into the format's tiny travel budget, a small but surprisingly sharp bump early in the 3.0 mm stroke. In such a short throw the bump reads clearly, giving each press a definite, ticking confirmation.
The sound is correspondingly compact: a light tick rather than a full tap, well matched to the minimal split boards where Chocs live.
For ergo builders who find linear Chocs too anonymous, Brown is the standard answer, with the clicky White available for those who want the feedback audible as well as physical.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Kailh Choc Brown V1 sound like?
small sharp tick; compact tactile feedback. Use the player on this page to hear simulated press and release sounds derived from its real specifications.
Is the Kailh Choc Brown V1 good for gaming or typing?
Its tactile bump gives clear feedback on every actuation, which most people love for typing. It works for gaming too, though some prefer linears for rapid double-taps.
How heavy is the Kailh Choc Brown V1?
50g actuation, 60g bottom-out (our estimate). Note that Kailh officially rates actuation force and publishes no bottom-out, so the bottom-out above is our derivation. Brands differ, so check the basis when comparing switches.
