Would you mind updating the switch info to show which ones are tactile, clicky, or linear?

I don't want to list those off of memory. I'll check the datasheet tonight and get it updated. if it's not listed in the datasheet then I'll have to reach out to them for you which will add a day or two to me getting that info added.

Also I've never actually seen one with a black bottom, only white bottoms.

  • Thick Gold (aka Bronze) - click bar
  • Gold - click jacket
  • Copper - tactile
  • Silver - linear

Thanks for those details. It turns out that our kailh rep is out of the office for this week due to a big Chinese expo. I've gone ahead and added the details you supplied! The pictures were taken from their website - I checked out a few other companies that sell these (Massdrop and Novelkeys) and one sellers were black bottomed and the other were white. I'm thinking it's just a cosmetic difference but I'll reach out to kailh when our rep is back in office to confirm.
