Kailh Thick Click Box Jade switches are a new approach to clicky mechanical keyboard switches designed in a collaboration with NovelKeys, giving a crisp click upon actuation and return. The clickbar sits across the length of the switch and provides a much nicer sound signature than a traditional clickjacket found in MX Blue-light switches. This particular variant has a slightly higher pitched sound signature compared the the Thick Click Navy, with a lower actuation force to pair. A polycarbonate top and nylon bottom house a POM box-style switch stem. These also make great fidget desk toys on their own – mechboards. | No comments on Kailh BOX White switches. |
