Mechanical keyboards have grown in popularity in recent years, with many gamers and typists preferring the tactile feedback they offer over conventional rubber dome keyboards. The overall typing experience is elevated, thanks to the sound, tactile feedback, and keystroke sensitivity that the best mechanical keyboards offer.

However, the typing experience can only be as good as the switches used, and that is where KAILH Box White Brown Red V2 5 Pin Mechanical Switches come in. These switches are a perfect blend of premium features, affordability, and performance, making them suitable for gaming keyboards, as well as for regular productivity work.

Design and Features

KAILH has gone above and beyond in developing these switches. They feature a unique "Box" design that separates the contact plate and leaf, preventing the build-up of oxide. The stem is also enclosed in a case, making it dustproof and water-resistant, rated at IP56.

The switch features a gold crosspoint contact technology, with a longer gilded spring that ensures faster rebounding speed, corrosion resistance, and rust prevention. The switches offer a longer lifespan, with a rated lifespan of 80 million actuations, making them ideal for gamers and typists.

The switches come in three variations, with the clicky White switches requiring 50g of actuation force, the tactile Brown switches requiring 45g of actuation force, and the linear Red switches requiring 50g of actuation force.

The KAILH Box White Brown Red V2 5 Pin Mechanical Switches offer a total travel distance of 3.6±0.3mm, with an actuation travel distance of 1.8±0.4mm. The switches' tactile and bottom-out forces are rated at 75gf and 68gf, respectively, while the rebound force is at least 15gf. These features make these switches very responsive, with superb tactile and audible feedback.
