Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 3-pin and 5-pin Kailh Choc 1350 switches?
A: The KH-1350D01-2 Crystal Red variant has 3 pins, while all other color variants in the Kailh Choc 1350 RGB lineup feature 5 pins. The 5-pin switches offer extra stability when mounted on a PCB, while 3-pin switches are compatible with most standard hot-swap sockets. Always check your PCB's pin socket configuration before purchasing.
Q: Are Kailh Choc 1350 switches compatible with standard MX-style keycaps?
A: No — Kailh Choc 1350 low-profile switches use a proprietary Choc stem design, which requires keycaps specifically made for Choc switches. They are not compatible with standard Cherry MX or MX-clone keycaps. Be sure to source Choc-compatible keycaps for your build.
Q: How do these switches enhance RGB keyboard lighting?
A: The crystal-clear transparent housing of the Kailh Choc 1350 RGB switches is specifically designed to allow maximum light pass-through, resulting in vivid and even RGB illumination across your keyboard. Paired with per-key RGB LEDs, they deliver a stunning visual effect for any custom build.
Q: How many switches do I need for a full keyboard build?
A: The number of switches depends on your keyboard layout. A full-size (100%) keyboard typically requires around 104 switches, a tenkeyless (TKL/80%) needs approximately 87, and a compact 60% layout requires about 61 switches. Plan your order based on your specific keyboard layout.
