Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources

Kailh's PG1350 datasheet: 50±10 gf, 1.5±0.5 mm pre-travel, 3.0±0.5 mm total, 8 mm tall. Mechboards also says 50 g. Some retailers quote 45 g for the Red, and the 35 g 'Pro Red' is a different switch. Pin count: Choc V1 has 2 metal pins, a centre post and 2 plastic side pegs. We record 5 to mean 'has side pegs', but the MX 3/5-pin distinction doesn't really apply to Choc, so match on footprint. Housing materials aren't reliably published. The GBP price is Mechboards' 10-pack.
