Under each Go60 key is a low-profile Kailh Choc v1 mechanical key switch.
MoErgo has collaborated with Kailh, and together we have created some of the best low profile mechanical switches on the market, exclusive to MoErgo.
Since Go60 prioritises travelling and ergonomics, we have chosen only quiet and the most comfortable switches.
2 key switch choices are available for Go60:
Cherry Blossom is exclusive to MoErgo and customized for our keyboards. Based on Kailh's silent switch technology, Cherry Blossom a type of silent "linear" key switch designed for silent operation. When you press them, they move smoothly down and up without any bumps or clicks. The case is made of clear polycarbonate to show off the per-key RGBs.
Type: Silent Linear
Actuation force: 30+10gf
Actuation travel: 1.5±0.5mm
Total travel: 3.0±0.5mm

Plum Blossom is exclusive to MoErgo and customized for our keyboards. It is the heavier version of Cherry Blossom for users who prefer a heavier switch. Sharing the same design as Cherry Blossom, it has incredible type-feel.
Type: Silent Linear
Actuation force: 45+-5gf
Actuation travel: 1.5±0.5mm
Total travel: 3.0±0.5mm

Key switch choice is very personal. The Go60 works well with all three key switch choices.
These questions may help:
Do you need a low-force key switch?
If yes, the Cherry Blossom 30gf silent linear is the lightest switches we have available for Go60. If you need an even lighter switch, you can change the switches of your Go60 to 20gf Choc v1 Pink switches or similar.
Do you intend to use Go60 in a library or an office?
The MoErgo exclusive silent switches, Cherry Blossom switch and Plum Blossom switch, are perfect in a library or other very quiet places.
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 White clicky switches. The Choc v1 White clicky switch has a very crisp and satisfyingly strong tactile feedback. We don't sell Go60 with White switch pre-installed, however since Go60 switches can be hot-swapped, you can buy the White switches and change it yourself.
On the other hand, if you prefer a buttery smooth key press action, then the silent linear key switches Cherry Blossom and Plum Blossom are for you.
What is a safe choice?
Everyone's preference is different, so there is no such thing as a universal safe choice. However if we really need to choose one, we would pick Plum Blossom. It is not very low-force, so it is easier for beginners. It is quiet, so it won't disturb others in shared space.
What if I don't like my switch choice?
Go60 supports switch hot-swapping. With the included key switch puller, you can replace the switches with your own preferred Choc v1 compatible switches. We also sell our exclusive switches on this website.
