Low profile: flat keyboards, switches and keycaps

Low profile is a catch-all term for flat parts. If you build or buy a flat keyboard, you need matching switches and keycaps – here you find all three together.

Not compatible with MX

Low profile switches never fit MX PCBs, and MX switches do not fit low profile boards. There are also different standards among them: Gateron KS-33 Low Profile 2.0 has three pins, version 3.0 has five pins and a different footprint, and Kailh Choc v1 and v2 differ again. We do not carry Kailh Choc at the moment. We have Gateron KS-33 Low Profile 2.0 in our range. If in doubt, check your exact keyboard before ordering.

Keyboards

The range includes the IQUNIX Magi75 and Magi96, the Keychron B6 Pro and the Bullet Train. A flat keyboard is independent of size – how 40, 75 or 100 percent differ is covered in the guide keyboard sizes and layouts. All boards are under low profile keyboards.

Switches

Travel is about 3 mm, shorter than MX, and the actuation point comes earlier. The low profile switches are available as linear, tactile, clicky and silent.

Keycaps

Flat boards need flat keycaps. PFF by Keyreative is a uniform low profile profile; more on profiles in the guide keycap profiles. Regular keycaps do click onto the MX cross of the KS-33, but they make the keyboard tall again.
