About this deal

However, things start to turn downhill when we’re talking about slower-paced games, especially stealth games. Combined with both Cherry MX form and Box design around the the cross stem, Kailh Box switches provide an easy transition to fit for any MX style keycaps that you want to customize and it will greatly reduces the wobbly and enhance your typing experience. Easy to Use】Utilizing the already popular Cherry MX form, Kailh switches provide an easy transition so you don’t have to let go of your existing keycap collection.

I have however had luck swapping the springs an dstems of the Kailh Box Jades and Pale Blues as they both feature the Kailh housing. If you would like to learn more about these switches, I’ve already completed reviews or scorecards for some of them. To date, I have not devised a good way to effectively measure the stems nor housings of Box style switches in the same way that I do for normal, MX-style stems and switches.

This 3-Pin switch's base is engineered with a hollowed-out light position design to offer SMD-LED light compatibility and incorporates an MX stem structure to be compatible with most mechanical keyboards on the market. But the parts I received were perfect and delivered very well in great packaging and it wasn't too expensive. Reminds me more of MX Clear but more tactile (I sold my MX Clear board so I can’t compare the two right now). These babies are holy dang tactile, I used other words when describing to friends but I think holy dang is pretty good.

I went from around 80 wpm to 45 just getting used to them and now feel more comfortable and am probably sitting around 60 (best guess). With that, though, comes not only a decent amount of graininess in the sound of the switch but almost a complete neutering of the characteristics of Box Jades which supposedly inspired this switch.This padded region does also appear to shorten the extra stage of material around the left most PCB pin, which is traditionally similar in size to that of the right most one. Strangely, as well, there appears to be a minor amount of either factory grease or lubricant present though the functionality that it provides is still a mystery to me. First off, there is a tolerance issue with the plastic pins, they are way too small to secure/align the switch properly. While this may not be confusing to most people who have read this, I could totally imagine someone getting their hopes up for a different shade of green stem in these switches after having misread this chart. While the vast majority have a sound in the significantly dulled range that I described above in the previous paragraph, approximately 20-30% of the switches in my batch actually had a bit sharper of a sound to them even through the dampening.

These are little notes of interest I generated when comparing these switches to the Box Mute Jades side by side. Falling very much in line with other previous Box switch releases, these have a noticeable but not overwhelming amount of stem wobble that will likely not bother anyone who chooses to use them.

Zeal and crew kicked off the custom switch scene many years ago with their iconic Zealios switches and the story of switches today couldn’t be told without them. As well, the noted point above about slight improvements in stem wobble between the Mute Jades and Box Jades also appears to hold true here as well. There is a certain metallic crunch and/or grinding sound present in the Kailh Pro Light Green switches that is simply not present in any capacity in the Box Mute Jade switches. Do I think it has significant potential to be improved in the years ahead to provide something truly unique?
