Title: Kailh box brown VS Gateron brown?
Post by: Pavilions on Tue, 24 July 2018, 11:31:20

Is there any difference between the tactility and the weight of these switches? If you tried them both which one you prefer?

I've tried khail box brown and the tactility is very lackluster

you can get a switch tester from kbdfans (https://kbdfans.cn/collections/switches-tester) for quite cheap and you will be able to tell for yourself and try the other khail box variants. I've never tested gateron brown so I don't want to mislead you.

Edit : I should add that i've ordered a switch tester like this and after using it for 1~2 months the khail box brown and khail box burnt orange now have now a slight clicky sound to them.

Given the recent  clicky-sound gate on the box switches..

We aught to hold off until precise cause is found

Don't forget the keycap cracking.
