Have you used the keyboard with Kailh BOX Switch?

<< < (4/4)

Coffee:
Just received a whole bunch of Kailh Box switches and went into a soddering frenzy this weekend.

I replaced my Cherry MX reds in my Leopold FC750 with stock Kailh Box Reds and loving it! It's super smooth, feels a bit lighter, sprightlier and snappier than the Cherry MX reds. Also, key wobble is reduced as well. I'm preferring the sound as well over the MX reds.

I also tried the Kailh Heavy Yellows. These are indeed heavy -- too heavy for my liking. I think Reds/Blacks are more suitable for me.

When I have time, I have Kailh heavy Pale Blue and Blacks to try out as well.

heavy box pale blue are nice.  I wouldn't call them "heavy" but they are an improvement over the lighter clicky bronze that are just too light.

Yes, by heavy box blue do you mean the pale blue?  I just soldered these into my Ducky One TKL, replacing the MX Silvers that I really could not come to like at all due to significantly reduced travel. These Pale Blues might just be my new favorite switch. The click is so addicting...and the weight of these feel "just right." It leads to a very satisfying feel with every press. I never liked Cherry Blues. Gateron Blues were better, but these have been my favorite so far. Kailhh really came out with some wonderful switches.

Now I'm tempted to try the Whites...oh boy, this hobby is killing my wallet.

I am using box blacks to type this up right now. I am extremely impressed zero wobble. There silky smooth and the weight is simply perfect! They are 60 gram's but they don't fatigue my fingers like my mx cherry blacks did. I gotta say overall I am extremely impressed with this switch it's taken over top spots for me. They are smoother Gateron Blacks. There far far smoother then cherry blacks that I have used. I wouldn't mind trying a Box Tactile switch in the 50-55gram range. I am not sure if those exist but I will have to make it a point to look.
