This diagram locates published travel points on a common 0–4 mm axis. It is not a force–travel trace and does not reconstruct tactile peak, return force or bottom-out force.
Before-you-buy note
The manufacturer publishes 4.0 mm maximum total travel and identifies the Cap Brown variant as 3-pin. Keep personal bump ratings in a configuration-specific test record.
A useful personal conclusion requires the exact keyboard, plate or integrated structure, mounting, keycaps, modification state, sample count and procedure. Begin with a small sample; do not turn a matching number into a universal sound, comfort or compatibility claim.
