Frequently asked

How strong is the tactile bump?

It is a light, rounded bump — present and pleasant, but well short of the sharp snap of a Box Royal or a heavy tactile. Think gentle feedback, not a hard wall.

Is it lubed from the factory?

Yes. The V2 ships factory-lubed, so it feels smoother and quieter out of the box than older Box Browns.

Who is it for?

Typists who want a touch of feedback without noise or a strong bump — a good office-friendly tactile and an easy first tactile switch.
