Frequently asked
How heavy is the Kailh BCP?
It actuates around 52g and bottoms out near 63.5g, so it sits in medium-weight territory — firmer than a 45g daily linear but a long way from a heavy switch.
Does it need lube?
It comes factory-lubed and is fine stock, but a thin coat of 205g0 on the rails and spring cleans up the slight nylon graininess and lets the clack ring out.
What does it sound like?
Clacky and woody. The fiberglass-free PA66 nylon housings give it a poppy, slightly hollow tone rather than the glassy snap of a polycarbonate switch.
