To date, I have not devised a good way to effectively measure the stems nor housings of Box style switches in the same way that I do for normal, MX-style stems and switches. Additionally, the fact that the measurement sheet also doubles as a means by which someone can effectively test frankenswitching combinations between stems and top housings to estimate wobble without actually having to try the switches first kind of kills the inclusion of the Kailh Box Muted Jades as Box style stems are incompatible with traditional MX style housings. Additionally, it’s worth noting that even on their own, there are a few design details which makes Box switch stems hard to measure in the same fashion, such as: As well, the addition of the O-ring in the jailhouse modification of the Cherry MX Blue switch did absolutely nothing to alter the stem wobble of the switch, continuing to make it significantly more wobbly than the Kailh Box Mute Jades. Scores and Statistics Now, as for its typing characteristics. I love it! This is one of the better, modern switches that exist in the market that I actually loved using. If this were the only switch I could use for the rest of my life, I’d gladly take it. They’re that good in my opinion. Cherry MX also offers the Speed Silver switch, but what makes Kailh unique is they have additional Speed switches as well. I have personally tested Kailh Speed switches, but found no difference in the overall reaction time.
The Kailh Box Jade Switch has a reputation for being very smooth and having a quiet operation. They are often compared to the Cherry MX Brown switch, which is also known for its smooth feel and quiet operation. I have no idea why they are circle shaped but still called BOX switches… you’ll just have to ask someone at Kailh. Off-centre keypresses are more or less the same as the BOX Navy. They show minor inconsistencies at very slow keypresses, but surprisingly, no scratchiness. I liked them both, but I bought enough Jades to cover a board so those were going to be the ones I tried first.Kailh switches are generally known to be scratchy, which makes them not the best for those who like tactile or linear switches. Overall, the weighting is prefect for my fingers! It’s a great switch for those looking for a heavier BOX White, but want something lighter than a BOX Navy. Sound: 7/10
This makes them ideal for gaming or typing in silence. Linear switches are smooth and silent, making them perfect for gaming.Much like with the notes above for the Kailh Box Jade switches, the Navies have a certain volume, tone, and sharpness to their sound that is simply nowhere to be found in the Mute Jade switches. The only similarity I would draw here is that they are tonally more similar than the Box Jades and Mute Jades due to the deeper and less high-pitched sound they share. Kailh Box Jade Switches are the newest addition to Kailh’s line of mechanical keyboard switches. They are a step up from the Kailh Blue switches, with a shorter travel distance and a higher actuation point. They are also available in both linear and tactile varieties. PRO TIP: The “box” in box switches doesn’t have anything to do with the shape of the stem (which features a box), but rather a separate, tiny box inside of the switch housing. the “box” in Kailh Box switches
ALMOST to the point of being too much resistance, and too “mechanical” feeling. Many people prefer the Box Pinks for this reason. They’re less stiff. Kailh Box Jade switches are used in a variety of mechanical keyboards, including gaming keyboards and enthusiast keyboards. Conclusion The Low-Profile switches are much more thin as they need to fit inside the smaller case of a low-profile keyboard.
Conclusion:
Kailh is one of the largest producers of mechanical switches with dozens of different switches available. They are are known to have a lifespan of 60 million keystrokes. Although they aren’t quite as good as Cherry MX which have a lifespan of 100 million keystrokes.
Kailh Box Jade Switches are a brand of keyboard switch that originated in China. The company was founded in 2004, and originally produced Cherry MX clones. Kailh Box Jade Switches are now a subsidiary of Kailh, which also produces Cherry MX switches.The actuation force is 50g, and the travel distance to actuation is 1.8mm. Alternatives to the Kailh Box Jades For now my main driver is going to be those box reds. When I want to abuse my ears and fingertips, which I'm sure will be soon, I'll swap em out for the jades. Thank god for hot swappable boards. In terms of overall sound, while the Kailh Pro Light Greens are slightly higher pitched than that of the Mute Jades, they are surprisingly similar in terms of overall volume and the closest comparison out of this initial comparison list. Additionally, given their relative smoothness, consistency and weighting, I was able to comfortably use this switch for countless of hours without much finger fatigue – something I couldn’t quite manage with the BOX Navy due to their heavier weighting.
Great Deal
