Kailh BOX Switches

The almighty BOX switches from Kaihua, also known as Kailh, are the pioneers of budget friendly switches! These switches are not your ordinary mx switches, they're shaped... well... a box. (lol) Due to their special mold, there is significantly less wobble all around. 

Rather than the cherry clones, the Kailh BOX line is very popular due to its clicky switches. Kailh's click bar is just on a whole new level. Offering in 3 different spring weights, and without sacrificing any of that CLICK, CLACK. 

But of course, we will be offering the clones as well, for those looking for a very beginner friendly build! All switches are 3-pins, so it should be compatible with all of MX-compatible PCBs. 

Note #1: ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH SMD LEDs.

Note #2: Due its special molds and structure, we DO NOT recommend lubing BOX switches, it will leak out.

Because keycaps can vary greatly between various manufacturers we unfortunately cannot guarantee that a switch won't stretch or crack keycaps. Updated BOX switches have been shown to work fine with GMK and Signature Plastics keycaps.
