Kailh BOX V2 Switch

Yes, these are 5-pin switches, which are compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic legs to make them fit.

The BOX design features a square stem structure that surrounds the cross-mount. This significantly reduces keycap wobble compared to standard switches, resulting in a more stable, consistent feel with every keystroke.

No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are designed to provide immediate smoothness right out of the box, though some enthusiasts may choose to apply additional lube to further customize the sound and feel.

Yes, these switches are compatible with SMD LEDs. The housing is designed to allow light to pass through effectively, making them a great choice for backlit custom builds.

These switches feature an IP56 rating, meaning they are highly resistant to dust and water ingress. While they aren't fully waterproof, the protective box structure offers significantly better protection against accidental spills and debris than standard mechanical switches.

With an actuation force of 40 cN, these are relatively light switches. They are responsive and easy to press, making them well-suited for long gaming sessions or extended typing tasks where you want to minimize finger fatigue.
