The long wait is over... finally there is a decent tactile low profile keyboard switch!
We call it the Sunset switch, and it is the first truly new Choc switch in years. Designed by LowproKB and manufactured by Kailh, the Sunset switch sets a new standard for low profile tactile switches.
The Sunset tactile switch has a completely redesigned stem which produces the tactile bump and actuates the switch. It comes factory-lubed and ready to add to your keyboard project.
It is actually fairly difficult to produce a nice tactile feedback in a short-throw, low profile switch such as a Kailh Choc. This switch is the result of over a year spent iterating through designs trying to find the right balance. Working closely with Kailh engineers, we feel we have found the sweet spot, and think it will be enjoyed by those who love tactile key switches.
The tactile event (bump) of the Sunset switch can be described as "short and sweet", as it is technically impossible to make a smooth rounded bump on a switch with such a short travel. The switch activates just after the bump, but in practice, it feels essentially instantaneous. Those who had the opportunity to test prototypes, did not describe sensing a lag in actuation.

Love the tactile feeling of these. Was surprised that they're relatively quiet for a tactile. I did buy the choc sound dampening stickers but I don't think they did much considering these switches were already pretty quiet. Initially was using the Ambient Silent Linear switches but these are much better. Would buy them again if I build another low profile board.
They arrived a little ahead of schedule, tested a couple first, then, replaced all the other switches. Just the right amount of force required. Would recommend
Best tactile choc switches ever.
Switches feel great to type on.
Replaced the stock Choc Browns that came with my ZSA Voyager. The actual tactile bump in a low profile switch is so much nicer than the Browns! Would highly recommend!
