Slim board guide

Low Profile Keycaps

Standard keycap sets don't fit low-profile boards — the switches and stem heights are different. These sets are sized specifically for low-profile boards like the NuPhy Air, Keychron K-series, and Kailh Choc-based custom builds.

Compatibility check

  • NuPhy Air / Keychron K-series: standard low-profile MX-style stems.
  • Kailh Choc-based builds: use a Choc-specific set.
  • Logitech MX Mechanical: proprietary, no aftermarket sets fit cleanly.
