Frequently asked
How heavy is the Kailh Box Noble Yellow?
It actuates around 55g with a 1.8mm pre-travel, so it lands in the medium-weight range. It feels lighter in practice than the number suggests because the click bar carries most of the perceived effort.
Is the Noble Yellow a loud clicky switch?
It is a real click-bar switch, so it is unmistakably clicky, but it is far gentler than Box Jades or Navies. Think a crisp, restrained click rather than a sharp, aggressive one.
Does it need lubing?
I would leave it stock. Lubing a click-bar switch risks dampening the click that is the whole point, so I only clean and film if a particular switch feels rough or wobbly.
