Height of Low Profile Choc Corne
What is the height of an assembled low profile choc corne?
With every parts from TyperActive and put together:
- pcb
- 3D Printed + FR - 4 case
- Cutout 3D display cover
- battery
- no-solder hot swap headers
- nice!nano
- nice!view
- Kailh Choc Pro Red Linear switches
- MBK Blanks keycaps

Unfortunately, I don't have the exact assembled height. However, I can provide the height of each individual component:
* PCB: 1.6mm
* 3D Printed + FR4 Case: Varies, but assume around 15mm
* Cutout 3D Display Cover: ~5mm
* Battery: 3mm
* No-Solder Hotswap Headers: ~8mm
* nice!nano: ~4mm
* nice!view: ~3mm
* Kailh Choc Pro Red Linear Switches: 13.5mm
* MBK Blanks Keycaps: 7mm
Adding these up gives an approximate height of 59.1mm. Note that this is just an estimate.
Let me know if you need help with anything else!
about 19mm
when i measured mine i got 19.05
Thank you @splitdev for the data point. (I guessed it would be thinner than ZSA Voyager which is 16mm, seems I am wrong lol)
im measuring up to the acrylic cover because thats the highest point on my board
im using different keycaps but it the mbk blanks shouldnt be any taller
May I kindly ask you for a favour please?
Would you minding measuring up to the keycaps (because I guess they should be shorter than the display cover?)
ldsa is the caps im using (blue) vs mbk (red)
yeah sure one sec
The comparison is clear man! Looks LDSA is bit taller than MBK tho. Assuming you are using choc switch, I guess you prefer low profile, then why choose a (bit) taller keycaps then?
Sorry if my question sounds ignorance.. I’m new to corne keyboard and looking to get my first corne here haha
from rough measurement, its about 16.669 mm from what i can tell
i wanted a more scooped keycap and thought these looked more comfortable
Thanks for the measurements @splitdev ! Yeah, they are definitely more scooped and nice-looking! (I am appreciated that you helped me know LDSA, now it becomes another option for me lol)
