Which keyboards can use it?

The NuPhy Aloe needs a Gateron low-profile board; low-profile footprints differ between makers, and Kailh Choc and Gateron low-profile switches cannot share a PCB. It is not compatible with standard MX mechanical hot-swap sockets. Check the keyboard manufacturer's supported-switch list before buying.
