Kailh Choc V2 Red
Switches · Linear · 43 g · Choc V2 · 110 per pack
Kailh's second-generation low-profile linear. It has an MX-style cross stem, so it takes normal MX keycaps, but it still needs a PCB designed for Choc V2.
For a pack of 110.

Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources
Kailh: 43±10 gf, 1.3±0.3 mm pre-travel, 3.2±0.25 mm total, 8.6 mm tall, PC top, PA66 bottom, POM stem. Kailh's spec table says it isn't factory-lubed, but its marketing text says it is, so we use false. Kailh leaves the pin count blank; 5 (2 metal pins plus pegs) is assumed, as for Choc V1. MX keycaps fit, but tall MX profiles lose most of the low-profile benefit. The price is Kailh's official store, 110-pack.
