Do they have the boutique smoothness? Def naw. Can I type hella fast on 'em? Def yeh. Fun fact! These won't interfere with your GMK caps, even when mounted North-facing.

Yep! Forgot to mention that but yeah, another selling point of these switches

[@nry3223]

@@lettucelemonade3825 My board is hotswap. Unfortunately though my only choices currently are MX reds (modified), and gat yellows. I really messed up on my first board. Did all this research. Bought 70 MX reds, the found out gat yellows are better. Bought the wrong keycap set because it didn't have standard bottom row. Had to buy a second set. A $230 build turned into $340. Good news though. I know so much more. I plan on building a Polaris when B-Stock arrives, true holy panda's, and either an SA set, or GMK Olivia. Built the gf a kbd19x and ymd09 with silent forests.

[@nc7486]

This video helped me decide on the silent box browns as my office switch. Since I work in a open office, typing noise is pretty critical for consideration, and I am happy to say that these switches are loads quieter than the stock switches that came with my board

[@She-wolf3636]

After a lot of research, I ended choosing these for my first mechanical keyboard. This video contributed a lot to that choice. My friends agree with you that these sound a little weird, but I'm enjoying the sound and they are working well for me. I'm all about the 'autumnal' sound. lol

[@DanClark_ddc]

"Autumnal Thought" sounds like a Jack Handey poem and also I love these switches and also thank you

[@Jt.17th]

I drifted off to sleep in a very good way when listening to dem switches and then things took a turn right for the worst, box jades, I literally jumped out my chair

[@tofu.delivery.]

Wow audio is noticeably better in this video, just a tip though, you might want to turn up the gain a bit for the sound test, the whole section was just way quieter than the rest of the video in general, including the mouse clicks and box jades. Side note I get goosebumps every time I hear a silent switch, you should review more of them

[@beefy256]

I love my Zeal Zealios and Zilents! Big fan of the feel of the tactile bump, and there is essentially no stem wobble on either of them, compared to the insane amount of wobble you showed. Great review, appreciate the stem wobble observations on switches.

Hi Glarses, are you planning to do a review on the roselios/sakurios switches? I recently build my first keyboard with the Roselios and I want to know other people's opinions since there are not many reviews on youtube. Thank you!

[@hypersale8101]

what is ur opinion on the apex pro? i am thinking of picking it up bc i can change the omnipoint switches. i was wondering what you think of the switches and the keyboard as a whole.

[@rupang886]

Question. Did Kailh fix the stem fitting issues with certain MX keycaps? I hear that Box Royals damages damaged the Keycap stems and I just want to know if it's been resolved.

[@dakotahawley]

great video! the ultimate question is what's the most quiet key switch while also being the most enjoyable/satisfying. I"m liking what I hear in this video. thanks for your input!

[@dudethatvybz953]

How do the gateron browns feel I'm getting an anne pro 2 and don't know what switches to get but the mx reds are out of stock and now I don't want a linear

[@jorgealejandro8643]

Does anyone know how the tactility compares to normal box browns? Not a personal fan of the normal box browns (preference, please don't hurt me), but would consider trying these if they're more tactile

[@dabeasthalofan6276]

How do these compare to gateron brown silents aside from the higher tactile bump and actuation point?

[@Torresgamingchannel]

This video put me in a quiet contemplative mood.

[@shinokuchiki7761]

I'm curious, have you ever (or anyone here) tried Box Royals by any chance? Interested in learning more. I run Zilents and they're nice but I just got so curious about those switches since apparently they're more tactile than Zealios. Cheers!

[@compu85]

This was a very funny, but also helpful review. It's too bad they're not as stable as the normal Box browns. How's the off center press binding? I'd be using them on a Kinesis, which doesn't have stabilizers on the thumb keys. The standard box switches work well in this board as they don't bind, and are way smoother than the Cherry browns (not saying much, I know).

[@SpeedTyping]

These switches are the exact opposite of what I want Glarses to be.

[@allainangcao28]

The only time Glarses admits he likes Brown switches.

[@BossKitten11]

i love you glarses man

[@b1zzler]

have you tested these with GMK? I wanna try some BOX switches but I hear that even the new ones can crack GMK caps

[@racconcrackk6792]

So In the end do you recommend these?? I think that lubing these will account for scratchy ness and I don’t really care about stem wobble..

[@ZFSV_LSJTJUOB]

after quite some time of using this switch did ya noticed any click sound from it? thanks!
