I also still make mistakes on it because the typing experience really is different, and sometimes bottoming out the key seems to make it take longer on the return travel. This can be really awkward in the beginning but as I type on the board I definitely don't feel the return as much as I did in the beginning.
Overall, the weighting is prefect for my fingers! It’s a great switch for those looking for a heavier BOX White, but want something lighter than a BOX Navy. Sound: 7/10 If there is any liquid or food residue on the switch, use a gentle cleaning solution (such as isopropyl alcohol) to clean it off. Be sure to dry the switch off thoroughly afterwards. Cherry MX also offers the Speed Silver switch, but what makes Kailh unique is they have additional Speed switches as well.I made another change to my procedure by having another period of time at the end when I am speaking and typing at the same time. The reason is because I had observed RNNoise was able to remove fan noise while I was speaking when I was first testing it for my recordings, however long ago. I wanted to discover if it would be able to remove the sound of the Box Jades like it did the fan noise, which seemed like the fan was not there (something I will certainly enjoy in the Summer months). First though I want to share the results of the first sound tests, from shortly after I installed the switches. As usual I have uploaded the audio files to GitHub so they can be viewed: Custom-Keyboard-Files/@Switches/Kailh Box Jade/NK65. The Kailh Box Jade Switch has a reputation for being very smooth and having a quiet operation. They are often compared to the Cherry MX Brown switch, which is also known for its smooth feel and quiet operation. In terms of topping out and bottoming out feeling, the Cherry MX Blues do marginally outpace the Kailh Box Mute Jades, though this is not entirely surprising given the hobby’s general fondness for Cherry nylon housings. The Low-Profile switches are much more thin as they need to fit inside the smaller case of a low-profile keyboard. Regarding the stem wobble of these two switches, the Box Mute Jades feel slightly less wobbly in both directions as compared to the original Box Jade switches, which may be likely due to simple mold and manufacturing improvements over the previous years since the initial release of the Jades. Kailh Box Navy
Kailh is a company based out of China, so they are able to produce switches at a very low cost and undercut brands such as Cherry MX who are based out of Germany. PRO TIP: The “box” in box switches doesn’t have anything to do with the shape of the stem (which features a box), but rather a separate, tiny box inside of the switch housing. the “box” in Kailh Box switches Kailh Box Jade switches are a variation of Kailh Box switches, with a jade green stem. Kailh Box switches are considered tactile, meaning that they provide a noticeable bump when actuated.
Introduction:
ALMOST to the point of being too much resistance, and too “mechanical” feeling. Many people prefer the Box Pinks for this reason. They’re less stiff.
Kailh is one of the largest producers of mechanical switches with dozens of different switches available. 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. Bonus RoundThey’re not bad by any means–but they’re just not in the same league as the Box Jades–and many keyboard enthusiasts shy away from them for this reason.
Great Deal
