They feel completely different.  Box Royals have a massive tactile bump right at the start and a relatively light spring.  In terms of the height of the tactile bump they're probably the most tactile non-clicky switches on the market.  But this also tends to give them an almost binary feeling in that you're either not pressing the key or you're bottoming out hard.  It's subjective and not everyone is going to like that feeling.

Pro purples are a more conventional tactile switch and feel a bit like a poor man's Zealios.

I haven't tried Box Royals yet, but Pro Purples were a bit of a disappointment, I found them too hard, and not tactile enough. Got some Box Royals incoming, can hardly wait to try them.
