Kailh Ice Cream Mini Switch
Cloud-Like Lightness & Ultimate Smoothness in an Ultra-Thin Profile.
Tired of scratchy, heavy mechanical switches or bulky keyboards weighing you down? Kailh brings the critically acclaimed buttery smoothness of the legendary "Ice Cream" series into an ultra-thin low-profile body—introducing the "Kailh Ice Cream Mini."
Crafted specifically for ultra-thin custom keyboards and Hitbox controllers, it features a hardcore 100% Full-POM construction (stem, top, and base) that inherently self-lubricates. Paired with a feather-light 40gf actuation force and a lightning-fast 1.2mm pre-travel, every keystroke feels like strolling on clouds. It gets even smoother with use, completely eliminating typing and gaming fatigue.

Core Advantages: "Cloud-Walking" Typing Experience
We know you despise the scratchy friction of cheap plastics and the finger cramps from heavy switches. The Ice Cream Mini is engineered exactly to solve these pain points.
The Problem: Scratchy & Dry Feel
Standard mixed-plastic switches feel dry and scratchy without perfect manual lubing, and their typing feel degrades significantly over time.
The Problem: Finger Fatigue
Many low-profile switches use heavy springs to prevent mistouches, causing muscle soreness during long coding or gaming sessions.
The Problem: Bulky & Clunky
Traditional mechanical switches are too tall and thick for modern ultra-thin, portable setups or custom low-profile Hitbox controllers.
✨ Kailh Ice Cream Mini: The ultimate solution offering self-lubricating POM smoothness, fatigue-free 40gf lightness, and a sleek ultra-thin profile.
Say Goodbye to Scratchiness
100% Full POM Self-Lubricating Marvel
The Solution
Spares no expense by using 100% POM (Polyoxymethylene) material for the stem, top housing, and bottom housing, complemented by high-precision factory lubing.
The Benefit
Peak smoothness right out of the box that never degrades. POM material's natural self-lubricating properties mean it gets smoother and softer with everyday use—like melting ice cream. Forget about manual lubing forever.
Say Goodbye to Finger Fatigue
40gf Feather-Light Touch & 1.2mm Response
The Solution
Equipped with a precision stainless steel single-stage spring that sets the actuation force to a feather-like 40gf, boasting a lightning-fast 1.2mm pre-travel and an ultra-short 2.8mm total travel.
The Benefit
Whether you're hardcore coding or gaming all night, your fingers will remain completely relaxed. The ultra-light force makes every press effortless, while the short travel makes double-taps and high-frequency combos incredibly breezy.
Say Goodbye to Bulky Peripherals
Ultra-Thin Design & Universal Compatibility

Features a sleek low-profile structure (Choc V2 pin spec) that reduces thickness by 40% compared to standard switches, built with anti-oxidation Kailh Gold Contacts™.
The Benefit
Easily build your minimalist premium desk setup or esports weapon. Perfectly compatible with ultra-thin custom boards like Lofree Flow and IQUNIX MG65, or Leverless fighting game controllers. A 50-million keystroke lifespan guarantees enduring reliability.

Its most unique advantage is the use of 100% Full-POM material (including the stem, top housing, and bottom housing). POM not only has an extremely low coefficient of friction, but it also possesses a magical self-lubricating property—meaning it gets smoother and softer with your everyday typing, an experience unmatched by standard material switches. It fully inherits the legendary smoothness of the full-sized Ice Cream switches.
The Ice Cream Mini uses the Choc V2 pin specification (3-pin). It can be directly plugged into hot-swap sockets compatible with Choc V2 or Choc V1. It supports many mainstream ultra-thin keyboards on the market, such as the Lofree Flow (Flow84), IQUNIX MG65, HEXGEARS A1, Kzzi I75, as well as the vast majority of Hitbox controllers. Note: It is NOT compatible with standard high-profile Cherry MX PCBs or MX keycaps.
Absolutely not. The switches have been professionally auto-lubricated by Kailh at the factory. Combined with the self-lubricating nature of the full-POM material, they arrive at peak smoothness right out of the box, and that feeling will only get better over time.
40gf is one of the lightest linear forces on the market. It is designed specifically for gamers seeking high-frequency inputs with maximum finger relaxation. This ultra-light pressure drastically reduces muscle fatigue during extended sessions. Paired with a 1.2mm lightning-fast actuation distance, it perfectly compliments combos and double-tap operations that require rapid response.
The Ice Cream Mini is the low-profile version of the highly sought-after Ice Cream series. It retains the 100% Full-POM material and legendary smoothness but is compressed into an ultra-thin 3-pin Choc V2 housing, specifically tailored for minimalist ultra-thin mechanical keyboards and Hitbox controllers.
