Frequently asked

How is the Box White different from Cherry MX Blue?

It uses a click bar instead of a click jacket, producing a crisper, more consistent click on both press and release. The Box stem also lowers wobble and adds dust/water resistance — most people consider it the better modern clicky.

How heavy is the Kailh Box White?

Light — 45g actuation at 1.8mm with a ~55g peak tactile force, over a shorter 3.6mm total travel. It is one of the lighter clicky options, which makes it fast for typing.

Are Box switches compatible with all keycaps?

Older Box switches had a non-standard cross-stem that fouled some thin keycaps, but modern Box switches use an MX-style stem compatible with standard keycaps.
