Is there a place to buy the switches that won't cost me my 1st borne child? They sound like a modern switch I could really get behind, but damn if $3.40 a switch isn't ****ing expensive. Not that I haven't spent that in the past, (I have), but we are talking about $360 for 105 key switches.

Edit, I can't read. Packs of 10, price is reasonable :D
I wish BOX Navies were ~8-10g lighter :(
They are horrible to a point that I consider them a broken design. They are like binary switch with only 2 states of operation, they feel close to a lighting switch. Certainly not my cup of tea. Something between BOX Pale Blue and BOX Navy would be best to be honest. Probably something with a tad lighter spring and a slightly thinner click bar. They went extreme and we need something in the middle. I bought my new Pok3r with MX Blues with an intention to install clicky BOX switches and the best ones currently are Pale Blues in terms of the operations in my opinion (just few grams too heavy to my liking - would prefer ~60-62g bottom out force - and I would prefer having slightly thicker click bar for deeper sound and bigger tactility but not as thick as BOX Navy). None of these BOX clicky switches are THAT good to make me want to desoler entire board, install holtites and put a new batch of switches in.I wish BOX Navies were ~8-10g lighter :(
Box Jades?

For the switch to work properly with a lighter spring it would need to have a thinner click bar because the force needed to overcome the click bar will be much greater than bottom out force and that will result with a switch similar to BOX Jades. Not as bad as BOX Jades but still.I wish BOX Navies were ~8-10g lighter :(
SPRiT makes custom box switch springs so you can spring swap to get your desired weight
