Kailh Revolutionizes Handle Solutions with Innovative Rockers and Switches
Kailh, a leading manufacturer of switches, has unveiled a groundbreaking suite of handle solutions, encompassing rockers, micro switches, and more, marking a significant leap forward in control mechanisms for various applications.
Kailh Hall Rocker
The highlight of Kailh's latest offerings is the Hall rocker, a cutting-edge innovation that utilizes chip and magnet sensing technology. This revolutionary rocker detects changes in swing displacement via a magnet, converting them into precise analog voltage outputs for accurate signal detection and conversion.
The Hall rocker series comprises four distinct types, including the CJP1311D, CJP1311A, and CJP1675D series. Notably, the Kailh3D Hall rocker distinguishes itself by enabling control of both X and Y axes with a single chip, unlike conventional rockers that require two chips for each axis.
Kailh emphasizes the versatility of the Hall rocker, suitable for an array of products ranging from game controllers (e.g., PS4/PS5) and drones to industrial equipment and toys.
Key Specifications of Kailh Hall Rocker
- Power Consumption: Ranges from 2mA (slow mode)/2uA (sleep state) to a maximum of 4mA (fast mode).

Kailh Carbon Film Rocker
Alongside the innovative Hall rocker, Kailh has introduced the traditional carbon film rocker, catering to diverse preferences and applications. The Kailh carbon film rocker JP1311 boasts dimensions akin to the popular RKJXV series of ALPS rockers, facilitating seamless replacement.
Key Specifications of Kailh Carbon Film Rocker:
- Partial Pressure Error: Controlled between 43% and 57%.
- Operating Torque: 12± 4mN.m.
- Use Angle: Up to 27.5 degrees.
- Rocker Potentiometer Life: Minimum 3 million times.
- Switch Pressing Life: Up to 1 million times.
- Kailh Tact Switch and Micro Switch:
In addition to rockers, Kailh offers a diverse range of tact switches and micro switches tailored for use in game controllers. Tact switches operate by deforming metal shrapnel upon button press, while micro switches feature a snap-action mechanism for rapid circuit control.
Micro switches, characterized by small electrical contact spacing and high sensitivity, are ideal for applications requiring frequent opening and closing and rapid triggering.
