Kailh BOX Switch

4.5

Best choice for typists who prefer heavy, audible, and tactile feedback.

These switches turn every keystroke into a deliberate, resonant event that mimics the satisfying heft of vintage hardware. They are unapologetically stiff and loud, which makes them a dream for heavy-handed typists but a potential nuisance in shared office spaces.
