Frequently asked

What kind of click does the Box Summer have?

It uses a Box click-bar mechanism, so you get a crisp, defined click with tactile feedback rather than the mushier click-jacket sound of older Cherry clickies.

How heavy is it?

It actuates around 50g and bottoms out near 53g, so the spring is light and the gap between actuation and bottom-out is small — easy to press and quick to reset.

Is the full polycarbonate housing meaningful?

Yes. The all-polycarbonate top and bottom give the click a brighter, clackier tone than a nylon-bottom Box switch, which suits people who want their click to cut through.
