Data sources and field status

Primary sources, retained fields, omissions and the boundary between published specifications and user tests.

PUBLISHED BY KEYSWITCH LABLAST REVIEWED 20 AUGUST 2026

Kailh

BOX V1 and Choc V2 records use manufacturer product pages. Choc V2 is retained as its own low-profile fit group; an MX-style keycap stem does not turn the switch body or pins into a standard MX fit.

Gateron

G Pro 3.0, CAP V2, KS-33 low-profile and selected magnetic records use Gateron product tables, product pages or manufacturer documents. Fixed pre-travel and keyboard-adjustable actuation remain separate. Magnetic polarity and flux support are never generalized to all HE boards.

Akko

The Akko collection starts with the official 16-key tester table and selected individual product pages. Where a retained source does not establish pin or lubrication state, the field remains board-specific or varies rather than being guessed.

CHERRY

MX2A and MX Low Profile records use current CHERRY product pages and data sheets. The dataset keeps force terms separate and marks mounting as board-specific when the source or article variants do not support a single universal pin statement.

Not retained as specification

Retailer descriptions, community sound labels, affiliate rankings, unsourced spreadsheets and isolated user measurements do not overwrite manufacturer fields. Material and sound marketing can remain in a record note as attributed context but never becomes a Keyswitch Lab measurement.

Data limitations

Forty-eight records across four manufacturers and three systems are useful comparison coverage, not a market-wide database. Multiple records can share one source table, so record count is not source diversity. Product revisions and regional listings can differ; verify the exact primary page and keyboard documentation before purchase.
