MX十字ステム。IR光学作動。Kailh専用の光学PCBが必要。Gateron光学PCBとは非互換。
Compatibility
MX cross-stem keycaps
MX cross stem — standard MX keycaps fit directly.
stem: mx_cross
Choc-family keycaps (2-pin)
2-pin stem is incompatible; will not mount.
stem: choc_2pin
Mechanical MX PCB / hotswap socket
Mechanical uses metal contacts, optical uses a light beam. Different pins and actuation — it won't work in an MX socket.
socket: mx_hotswap (won't actuate)
Matching optical PCB (same brand & generation)
Requires an optical PCB of the same brand and generation; other brands/generations may not fit.
socket: optical (brand-matched)
KNOWN TRAP Optical is locked to the same brand and generation of optical PCB. Gateron optical and Kailh optical are not cross-compatible, and generations can differ even within a brand. It will not actuate in a mechanical MX PCB/socket.
Known issues
- TBD: Kailh optical lacks a clean per-color datasheet; force/travel are per vendor listing (unverified).
