I figured I’d post this here to further demonstrate the compatibility of the hot-swap sockets on the UHK80…
In this pic of the UHK80, the bottom-row thumb cluster switch is the Lofree Wizard (Choc V2 style). The switch in the middle is the upper-row thumb cluster using Kailh Crystal Box Navy (standard MX style).
ALL but the very bottom row on both halves (two each side) use standard MX switches:
The Lofree Shadow Series switches are basically Kailh Choc V2s without the extra stabilizer pin on the corner. They will only fit in Choc V2 sockets. The main metal pins are also not aligned in the same position as standard MX, so Chocs & MXs won’t fit each others’ sockets interchangeably…
Here’s a bottom view of -
(LEFT = Choc V2 Blue, CENTER = Lofree Wizard, RIGHT = Kailh Box Navy [MX]):
Below is a shot of the UHK80’s hot-swap sockets. Notice the placement of the sockets for the metal pins (circles with tiny slits inside). The Chocs are aligned leftward, and the MX are aligned rightward. Also notice how much bigger the center hole is for the Choc socket…
(BOTTOM = low profile Choc V2 socket, TOP = standard MX socket):
