Title: Opinions on Kailh Box Burnt Orange?
Post by: InvisFrames on Wed, 12 September 2018, 16:58:38

I want a new tactile switch but I don't know which one. (currently using gateron browns)
I'm thinking either Burnt Orange, Outemu Sky, or BOX Browns. I use my keyboard for typing and gaming. Which best suits that and which one do you think has the smoothest tactile feeling.

I personally find BOX Burnt Orange to be my favorite switch of all time.  Of course BOX Brown is basically the same, but the orange has a slightly heavier spring.  Both of these have the tactile bump right at the top, which I didn't think would be something I'd like, but it turns out to be perfect for me.

BOX switches in general tend to feel more solid, less loose or wobbly than many other switches, to me.

Try Kailh pro purple switches. The bump is probably a bit more pronounced then burnt oranges but it just feels right to me.
