Switch | Notes |
Box Royal slider w/ Hako Clear spring | Just a spring swap but the Hako spring is much heavier than stock Box Royals |
Box Royal slider w/ Hako True spring | Wait, how could this be below the Clear spring you ask? More discussion below |
Hako Clear slider w/ Hako Clear spring | The Hako Clear slider seems to be really tactile |
Hako True slider w/ Hako True spring | Feels really smooth. I like this one |
Box Royal slider w/ Box Royal spring | Stock Box Royal |
Hako Clear/Violet slider w/ Box Royal spring | Couldn't actually tell the difference between the two Hakos here. Pretty sure the sliders are actually the same |
Hako True slider w/ Box Royal spring | I think it's different from the above... |
Stock Hako Clear | It's stock... |
Stock Hako True | It's stock... |
Hako Violet slider w/ Violet spring | Slider feels very sticky. Spring is too weak for the job. |
Stock Hako Violet | It's stock... |
In terms of sound, this "True Royal", or whatever it's going to be called, has more bass and isn't nearly as clacky as the stock Royal.
A lot of you might wonder how could a Box Royal slider with a Hako Clear spring require more force than the same slider with a Hako True spring. Trues use a heavier spring, right? Well, the True spring definitely is heavier when bottoming out, but it's actually a nonlinear spring. I think Clears are too but it's more pronounced in Trues. So Trues are very heavy to bottom out but they actually require less force early on, and these bumps are all quite early in the switch's travel. Sure enough if I continue to push them together I see the one with the True spring eventually 'win' and push back the Clear spring.
Would be down to do this, but opening those switches is just so hard and end up wrecking the tops :/.Just stick your fingernail under one side of the clear plastic top till it pops off of the two protruding nubs, then do the other side. The top is now off.

I wonder how this would feel for a aristotle stem... I am a tactile fanatic, so this is really appealing for me haha
I mean if you switch the top to a non-box kaihl, since it's the bottom that gives the extra tactilityI wonder how this would feel for a aristotle stem... I am a tactile fanatic, so this is really appealing for me haha
Uh...that's not a box switch so it wouldn't fit at all.

You can't just switch the tops, the entire box switch assembly and actuation mechanism is different from a standard MX switch.
