Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are Kailh Low Profile Hot Swap Sockets compatible with standard MX switches?

A: No — these Kailh hot swap sockets are specifically designed for Kailh Low Profile 1350 Chocolate switches. Standard MX switches have a different pin layout and footprint and are not compatible with these sockets. Always verify your switch type before purchasing.

Q: Do I need to solder these Kailh hot swap sockets onto my PCB?

A: Yes, the sockets themselves are soldered onto the PCB during the initial build. However, once installed, they allow you to hot-swap your Kailh 1350 Chocolate switches in and out freely without any additional soldering — that's the key benefit for custom keyboard DIY projects.

Q: How many sockets do I need for a full keyboard build?

A: The number of sockets you need depends on your keyboard layout. For example, a 60% keyboard typically requires around 61 sockets, a TKL (tenkeyless) layout needs approximately 87, and a full-size board needs around 104. Check your PCB's switch count to determine the exact quantity for your custom build.

Q: What color options are available for these hot swap sockets?

A: These Kailh Low Profile Hot Swap Sockets are available in 4 color options, allowing you to match your build's aesthetic or use different colors for organizational purposes within your custom keyboard PCB layout.
