Frequently asked

Is the Kailh Box Spring 40g really waterproof?

Its Box housing carries an IP56 rating, meaning it resists dust and water spray, which makes it a sensible choice for spill-prone desks. It is splash-resistant, not submersible.

Does the 40g actuation feel too light?

At 40g it is a genuinely light linear, lighter than the typical 45-50g mainstream linear. Fast typists and gamers tend to love it, while heavy-handed typists may bottom out and trigger keys accidentally.

Does the Box Spring 40g need lubing?

It ships factory lubed and is smooth enough out of the box for most builds. A light hand-lube on the springs can quiet residual ping if you are chasing a fully polished result.
