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 Choc V2 footprint is retained as a separate fit group; an MX-style keycap stem does not make the switch body or pins MX-compatible.
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.
