Thoughts on Kailh Low Profile (specifically the Jades!)
« on: Thu, 28 June 2018, 04:20:46 »
I'm over here looking on Novelkeys, just burning time when I see something that peaks my interest... Sitting a foot or so away from my face on my screen is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen... The Kailh Low Profile Jades.

Personally, I think that they sound amazing. I just wanted to know what owners of this switch think of it before I go and build another keyboard.

The Jian, also known as “the bird that shares wings,” only possesses one wing. Unless a male and female pair lean on each other and act as one, they’re incapable of flight. They’re imperfect, incomplete creatures, but for some reason, their way of life struck me as profoundly beautiful.

My main thoughts about Kailh low profile switches is that man it's hard to do a build because of everything else.  Buying the switches is easy (Novelkeys sells them), the problem is PCBs/plates/cases/keycaps/stabs/etc.

I would like to build a low profile board myself but without milling my own plates and handwiring I can't find anything I would actually want to build...

Yeah, the keycap selection is really limited with these.

Yeah, I can't seem to find the proper size PCBs, stabs, or cases to fit it. I can handwire the board, it'll just be tedious as hell.
