Glove80 Key Switches

Glove80 Key Switch Choices

Under each Glove80 key is a low profile Kailh Choc v1 mechanical key switch. Kailh Choc v1 switches are some of the most well known and popular low profile mechanical key switches in the market.

5 key switch choices are available:

How Should I Choose?

Key switch choice is very personal. The Glove80 works well with all five key switch choices.

If you have access to mechanical keyboards, we suggest you try some with tactile switches and linear switches to better understand how they feel.

If not, these questions may help:

Do you need a low-force key switch?
If yes, the Cherry Blossom 30gf silent linear and the Pro Red 35gf linear are the lightest switches we have available pre-soldered for Glove80. If you need an even lighter switch, you can solder your own Glove80 using 20gf Choc v1 Pink switches or similar on the "switches-not-soldered" Glove80 variants.

Do you intend to use Glove80 in a library or an office?

Please consider choosing the silent Cherry Blossom switch if you intend to use Glove80 in a library or other very quiet places.

If you intend to work in an office, all switches should be acceptable except for the White clicky switch, which has quite a loud click.

Do you like tactile feedback, i.e., a notable 'bump' feedback midway into the keystroke which signals a successful key activation, when you press a key?

If yes, then you should consider the Brown tactile or White clicky switches. The White clicky switch has a very crisp and satisfyingly strong tactile feedback, whereas the Brown tactile switch has a more muted but quieter feedback.

On the other hand, if you prefer a buttery smooth key press action, then the linear key switches (Red, Red Pro and Cherry Blossom) are for you.
