Even though they are called blue, the stem is a dark grey colour. I guess Kailh are running out of names considering they have released so many switches! Keeping to their name, they have a very heavy activation and bottom-out force. I found these too heavy for fast typing.

The impact of RNNoise is quite clear here as the only-typing section in the middle is almost flat for both the recording microphone and the headset. I can also see it made some difference during the only-speaking section, even though there was no noticeable source of noise at the time. Regardless, we can see from the waveforms, RNNoise had a very significant impact and was able to remove or reduce much of the typing sounds. The first one that comes to mind is the KBC Poker 2. This keyboard is a great option for those looking for a compact design with a lot of features. It comes with Kailh Box Jade switches and offers full n-key rollover, meaning you can press as many keys as you want at once and they will all register. So I must apologize ahead of time, even though I planned on making this post I completely forgot to take any pictures, but without further ado let's get on with the "review." My best explanation for how I forgot to mention the weight of the Box Jades until now is that it is something I never needed to adapt to. With some of the other switches I could feel their heaviness and needed to adapt a little to it, but I cannot recall needing to do so for these. I quite possibly still did, but also found them comfortable to type on from the beginning and am interested in tactile switches that may offer sharp tactility as well. Note that the Kailh Box key switches are only compatible with SMD LEDs rather than the through-hole LEDs due to the IP56 water-resistant construction. They have slightly less travel (3.6mm) and activation (1.8mm) than standard MX switches (typically 4mm and 2mm respectively.) The design includes a hole on the bottom of the switch, meaning that they cannot be easily lubed without the chance of lube leaking out. I did read that Kailh will be retooling their switches to remove the hole.
Activation - measured in mm and represents the distance the key switch needs to travel before it is activated. Too little can result in keys being incorrectly activated if you are a fast typist and too high can make typing speeds slower as you need to depress each key further. Note that there is always a tolerance of around 0.6mm in these values. Some switches designed for gamers offered a reduced activation resulting in a faster response time. These switches feature a unique box design to the stem. This keeps the stem protected to provide an IP56 rating for dust and moisture and also reduces any keycap wobble. The Box White is a linear switch with a light actuation force and a smooth, linear travel. It’s a great switch for gaming and typing. The Kailh Box Brown is a fantastic tactile switch. It has a firmer tactile bump than the Gateron Brown and is smoother than either the Gateron or Cherry MX Brown.

The Kailh Speed Silver has a smoother feel than the Kailh Box switches and the reduced activation and travel result in faster in-game response times. The activation force is also slightly higher than the Cherry MX, being 50g compared to 45g. I did not notice that this was too light, but I have found 35g switches (such as the Gateron Clear) to be far too light for gaming or typing. However, this does depend upon how hard you press the keys and if you lift off early or bottom out the keys.
Similar in design to the Cherry MX Silent Red, the switch includes a rubber dampener to reduce noise when they bottom out. Unlike other Box designs, the stem features a circle shape rather than a box. Interesting the stem is a bright pink colour rather than simply a lighter red on the Cherry MX. The design does increase the activations to 80 million. Kailh Box Jade switches are a variation of Kailh Box switches, with a jade green stem. Kailh Box switches are considered tactile, meaning that they provide a noticeable bump when actuated. They come in many different colors, so you can match them to your keyboard’s theme or your own personal style. Even though they have a smooth feel and a nice tactile bump, they do not sound as good as either the Box White or Box Jade and have a slightly rattly metallic sound. I would wholeheartedly like to see a Box Royal with a heavier spring, maybe somewhere in-between 60-70g or so to make that switch truly shine, maybe call it a Box Duke or something. I would also love to see a middle ground spring weight between the Jade and the Navy while keeping the rest of the switch the same to have the best of both worlds, maybe call it a Box Ruby.

The Kailh Brown is non-RGB and is not as good as switches from Cherry MX or Gateron with a slightly scratchy feel. I recommend the Kailh Box Brown instead. IP40 - This rating covers most Cherry MX switches, with a solid protection rating of 4, meaning protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and a liquid protection rating of 0, meaning no rating or protection. Coming to the second sound test recording with OBS Studio and RNNoise, I want to first state that when I listen to when I am speaking and typing with RNNoise enabled I can still hear the Box Jades, but they are clearly and significantly muffled compared to the unfiltered version. Kailh Box Jade switches are mechanical keyboard switches, similar to Cherry MX switches. They are manufactured by Kailh, a subsidiary of Razer. Upper Housing - The upper housing is made from a plastic polymer to a very high level of tolerance, guiding the stem to create a smooth vertical movement with a negligible wobble. You will notice that with very cheap keyboards, the keys feel very unstable when typing.Whilst these have a lower sound they also have a lower tactile bump which is disappointing. They feel similar to the Gateron Brown that also has a low tactile feel.
Great Deal
