Sunset Tactile Choc Switches

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.

Note: Used switches are not refundable. If you are unsure if you will like a particular switch, please purchase a single 10 pack to test prior to buying the full amount. Please see our refund policy for more details.

The Sunset tactile switch uses a 40gf spring, and 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. Check the feedback for some of our users reactions.

Switches sold in packs of 10.

Unlike many people here, these weren’t my favorite. Typing on them makes each keypress feel like my finger is being doubletapped. Great qaulity, it’s just not for me.

I’ve tried purpz, pinks, pro reds, robins, nocturnal, twilight, and pro reds. I prefer the feel of the robins best, but they’re heavier than all the others whic is a little fatiguing compared to the other lighter springs.

If you want the tactile feel and don’t mind a slightly louder switch, I much prefer the Robins. And when I say loud it’s much like a typical mechanical mouse click, nothing too intense.

If you like tactiles, then Sunsets may be right for you though. They are tactile and otherwise seem great.

Bump is very nice. Easy to tell if the key press registered.
