Extremely wear-resistant internal components with IP40 dust-proof features provide a long-lasting and stable quality lifespan. The final, and most interesting component of the top housings is the singular, white dampening rod which can be seen in the bottom left-hand side (viewed internally) or bottom right-hand side (viewed externally as a closed switch) that extends from the exterior to the interior of the housing. Easy to Use】Utilizing the already popular Cherry MX form, Kailh switches provide an easy transition so you don’t have to let go of your existing keycap collection. This 3-Pin switch's base is engineered with a hollowed-out light position design to offer SMD-LED light compatibility and incorporates an MX stem structure to be compatible with most mechanical keyboards on the market. The creates a decent sized tactile bump that is more defined than the BOX Whites and more rounded than the BOX Jades.

There is a problem however, some of the switches are inconsistent and feel less tactile than the others. Looking first to the to the top housings of the switch, I want to make a note here that it already appears that the molds and design features of these top housings are markedly different from that of the only other Box style switch which I’ve reviewed prior in depth in my From The Vault: Novelias Switch Review. If you would like to learn more about these switches, I’ve already completed reviews or scorecards for some of them. The KEYGEM® Discord Community is growing every day and offers a friendly environment, support and is the best place to get news on events or giveaways.Weird how people still report them cracking keycaps, the BOX switches are definitely not the tightest switches I’ve used, the U4Ts seems far wider and takes a lot more force to put on them keycaps and I havn’t read any reports on them cracking keycaps. In fact, over the past few months now I’ve been dealing with a concerted series of harassment events from an individual or small group of people attempting to get me to alter my content “or else. Coming in marginally less wobbly than that of previous Kailh Box switch iterations, these have a potentially noticeable but likely unproblematic amount of N/S and E/W stem wobble for the vast majority of users out there. As well, the top housings have no budge to them whatsoever due to the iconic winglatch style design, as to be expected. Now, the build went much as expected except when it came to the more open portions of the plate, being manufactured in a softer material (I believe the plate was Delron, which is similar to acrylic but with a bit more flex).

Two extra details worth noting about this bump, though, is that it is both slightly scratchy in nature as well as noticeably less harsh than would be implied by the spring weight of these switches.

These babies are holy dang tactile, I used other words when describing to friends but I think holy dang is pretty good. As well, the noted point above about slight improvements in stem wobble between the Mute Jades and Box Jades also appears to hold true here as well. Regarding the stem wobble of these two switches, the Box Mute Jades feel slightly less wobbly in both directions as compared to the original Box Jade switches, which may be likely due to simple mold and manufacturing improvements over the previous years since the initial release of the Jades. I was quite afraid going from the BOX Navy to the BOX Jade thinking it wouldn’t be as sharply tactile, but that was all for nought as the Jades feature just as sharp of a tactile event as the BOX Navy.
