Additionally, the bottoming out is fairly subtle and quite firm, with a topping out that is decently firm but also a bit thinner given the difference in mechanical thickness between the top and bottom housings. On the upper rim of the top housings, four mold ejector circles are noted in each corner, with the upper right-hand side one featuring a single number mold marking in extremely small font.
In the real world, they feel a little heavy to actuate, but they take less effort to use compared to the BOX Navy as the Jades have a lighter spring – the same ones present on the Kailh BOX White. The slider rails are not centered on the B side of the stem, making measurements like D impossible to functionally use for calculations. As well, the noted point above about slight improvements in stem wobble between the Mute Jades and Box Jades also appears to hold true here as well. The housing is made by Kailh and does feature the traditional four pegs but rather only two clips on the side which shows in the unique bottom housing and the stem to accomodate.
The stem wobble on these switches, in both the N/S and E/W directions is as expected not entirely all that great nor overly poor. And because of this I would personally recommend a harder (or less universal) plate when building with these switches. So I must apologize ahead of time, even though I planned on making this post I completely forgot to take any pictures, but without further ado let's get on with the "review. Any K series (Gateron Mechanical Hot-Swappable or Keychron Mechanical Hot-Swappable versions only), K Pro series, V series or Q series Keychron keyboards. This image also demonstrates the ‘hollow sider rail’ design common to that of other, previous Kailh Box style switches.
Aside the quite reasonable pricing and assumed constant availability via Novelkeys, this represents a real switch-up in MX-footprint based technology and is a novel means of changing the performance characteristics of switches that simply hasn’t been done before. Appearing to show clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) rotations on this diagram, it would appear that Kailh expects that the tolerances of their has at maximum a one degree rotational ‘wobble’ which I find particularly interesting given that I naturally have felt measuring N/S and E/W wobble to be more indicative of normal use cases rather than a rotational wobble. bottom out springs are silver in color with a slightly greater thread per length count than normal, MX-style springs, though not to such a large degree as to make them particularly stand out. There is a certain metallic crunch and/or grinding sound present in the Kailh Pro Light Green switches that is simply not present in any capacity in the Box Mute Jade switches. This 3-Pin switch's base is engineered with a hollowed-out light position design to offer SMD-LED light compatibility and incorporates an MX stem structure to be compatible with most mechanical keyboards on the market.
A wonderful UK based operation which sells singles to switches that I’ve used above in my comparisons for collectors and the curious alike. Extremely wear-resistant internal components with IP40 dust-proof features provide a long-lasting and stable quality lifespan.
A switch peripheral company based out of the UK which sells everything switch adjacent you could ask for, they’ve been a huge help recently with my film and lube supply for personal builds, and they want to extend that help to you too. On the left-hand side there is a single number mold marking facing inwards and on the right-hand side there is a number and letter code facing externally, assumedly used in marking molds or machines used to make the bottom housings.
Keeping in mind that I hardly, if ever, get around to opening and inspecting Box style switches, all of the traditional components of the stem that I am aware of are present. But it did perform beautifully throughout my testing and I’d be happy to give them another run with more games.
Great Deal
