I can report full compatability with a 2020 Campagnolo 12-speed drivetrain and installation is a snap with the quick link system -- way better than the provided Campy chain. However the KMC is quite noisy above the 17 cog. I finally installed the Campy 12 speed chain and all noise is gone (the Campy chain is a hair narrower at 5.15mm).

If you're OK with a little noise on 52/17 and above the KMC works well and is a far easier installation than the Campagnolo chain.;

Well first I don’t really write reviews but I want you guys know how KMC works. This chain solve my terrible problem regarding shifting. The first one I bought before is the SLX 12 speed chain but it didn’t work out it keeps skipping and jumping on my cogs and very noisy although I got a SLX derailleur and SLX shifter I did all the best I can to tune up but still didn’t work. But this KMC chain solve my problem. Worth buying it specially if your groupset is mix like mine don’t hesitate to buy this. Shifting is so smooth.
This is my groupset:
Cassette: Sunrace 11-51T
Rear Derailleur: SLX 12S
Shifter: SLX 12S
Crank: IXF
Chain ring: Oval Deckas 34T;
