Rainbow Keyboards: Low Profile Choc 1350 Chocolate Keyboard Switch for Laptops
The Choc 1350 Chocolate Switch delivers a true mechanical feel in a slim, laptop-friendly package. For rainbow keyboards enthusiasts, this low-profile switch is a natural fit when you want a tactile response without adding height to your setup.
Key design notes include a Kailh-inspired keycap mount that isn't compatible with Kailh's other switch types, and a contact system that uses lateral movement with a click bar instead of a traditional click collar. This combination keeps the switch compact while maintaining reliable actuation for everyday typing and gaming on lighted keyboards.
