Which keyboards can use it?
The NuPhy Cowberry needs a Gateron low-profile board; low-profile footprints differ between makers, and Kailh Choc and Gateron low-profile switches cannot share a PCB, such as the NuPhy Air60. It is not compatible with standard MX mechanical hot-swap sockets. Check the keyboard manufacturer's supported-switch list before buying.
