Powdered POM is consider a lubricant. It's "self lubricating" because as the stem and the housing scrape against each other, over time, the powdered plastic would compensate for the scratchy surface due to use.

these switches on a 110% layout keyboard (iqunix slim 108) is what im using and it drives tae-simps crazy.

Why does it seem like these switches are a bit taller than regular mx switches? Are they the same height? I'm considering purchasing these and perhaps modifying the springs to match one of my favourite switches

Ok so this is the ones for the lumberjack's!?

wonderful , thank you !

I have Keychron V1 with Gateron Yellow Pros and I'm thinking of getting some of those Navy for specific keys like Esc and Home just so I can have some nice clicky experience now and then.

Are these the same as the Kailh Purple or kailh box crystal royal? Can't find these anywhere

I am waiting on these to arrive! I CAN'T wait!

this sound test makes me

Filled my keyboard with these recently. Every couple of weeks one starts double registering and needing replacing. Are they known to be unreliable?

It could be an igus iglidur like material. Color does match but all china clones of such self-lubricanting bearings (that’s were i ran into them) were miles away from real deal. Them stating it’s POM (or Delrin) points more to the fact that it’s very resistant to friction and theoretically glides more easily but has nothing to do with igus.

so its just a tactile

barely noticable tbh, spacebar sound good though

These are some great switches for an ultra-retro build, with tall rounded caps and a metal wraparound case for maximum click. That’s my idea endgame clicky build lmao

I wonder if different keycap profiles like SA or MT3 would accentuate the squishy muted clicker sound. Besides that I think these sound pretty decent.

stupid.

Holy crap, that sound tests sounds like a loud clicky clacky keyboard

Dankpods soundtest music

My brain felt so good listening to you type. Thank you.

this is a great video! thanks for all the information :)

You should try kailh box cream PRO (new version of box cream)

instantly subbed keep up the reviews

No difference 😂 only space bar work better with silicone

Where are you?

Where do u find the switches

What material is your plate? Im going to do a custom keyboard with navy switches and alu case and I dont know what plate to buy if PC or Alu

Your looking at custom keyboards wrong. This is a family heirloom. Still an insane number of clicks, but wasd is going to wear out after a couple generations.

Not into clicky switches but I put these Box Navy's on special keys like Esc, PrintSreen etc. just for the lulz and because they are the loudest I tested ^_^

awesome video!! first time I see the disassembly of a switch and how it works in real life, not the 3D renders, which is not the same. From listening to the video, think the silent clicky swtich sounds almost like a tactile switch?

Doesn't sound like that much of a difference, and still annoyingly loud to my ears...as far as can be said based on a recording.

I was wondering maybe It's worth it to put like a brass plate in under the silicone before you pour

Ordered those along, with my Epomaker TH80 Pro Budgerigar switches. Keyboard already arrived, and it is thocky out of the box. I wonder, how they would feel when navy blues arrive.

Just waiting for someone to come out with a modern multi-media keyboard with RGB lighting and buckling spring switches....

love these they are so balanced when it comes to sound with a slight click and enough thock. the slight click filters out any scratchiness on entering and exiting feels amazing to type on i need more box mute jades

Use o-rings on them, they feel INCREDIBLE! It makes them feel like really low actuation force, because you’re expecting to press the keys deeper, but they still give the super crisp loud, thick clicks.

I want these but cant find them in stock online =(

That's pretty cool. They sound a bit like a louder glorius panda lol

I am now more exited than I have been in a while, and its over a keyboard switch. Thank you for a great review of a product I am now verry interested in

Does the feeling the same as moyu black?

Why u dont take one of these cups?^^

Do they actually feel clicky though?

What is the keycap name?

I bought this kit and haven't been able to download the software. The links they sent me led to downloading a virus infected file. Anyone have luck downloading the software?

This is the exact sound I want from my keyboard. Like when I think “typing clicks” this is the sound

From the MOMENT (however many years ago it's been) I saw a video on the first box switches and how they set up the white click bars, I wanted to try experimenting with dampening the impact point to essentially extract the sound while keeping the tactility. Fast-forward to a year ago and I'm reminded of that idea when these switches come out. Not quite sure why they changed the design to work how it does, but the use of a dense silicone doesn't quite do as good of a job as some other more porous material would. I mean, I get that it would likely be unreasonable to use something like foam or felt from a manufacturing efficiency standpoint, but one of these years I'll be able to pick up some thick bars and finally put my idea to the test ♥️

I for one can happily game with my Kailh Box Navies... if my PC was actually up and running anyway.

This build guide is perfect. Can't wait to build mine

Very good review! I just don't understand why they are called "cream" when they are scratchier than a chainsmokers voice ... holy If you actually want creamy, deep switches take a look at the "Cow Switches (UHMWPE)" they are the best switches I've ever tried

I've just upgraded from Jades to Navys on my keyboard I used for work. It's like a whole new workout. My finger will grow 6-packs in the next few weeks.

i might regret this
