The highlight though in my opinion is, of course, the extremely lightweight actuation force of only 35g. So yeah, aside from that, I don’t see any other obvious difference of this switch from the standard or previous generation Box switches from Kailh. One thing I’ve noticed is that the bottom housing on the new one is completely shut which I think is a good decision, we’ll discuss deeper on that later. Looking around the switch everything seems to be pretty similar in terms of design compared to the standardl red switch but later I will tear this apart so that we can have a better idea about its construction. I like the reversed color combination of red and white. This one has a white stem with a red bottom housing and in my opinion, it looks really good. Looking closer on this switch, as you can see the colors are very different compared to the standard Box red switch. Underneath it, we have the latest Box red switches and I think what Kailh sent me is good enough for at least a ten-key-less keyboard. Removing the cover we have a clear plastic protection to keep the switches in place. I don’t know if this kind of packaging is available for individual consumers but Kailh sent me this very nice packaging right here. Pros: Extremely lightweight, Good construction, Sealed bottom housingĬons: A little bit scratchy, High-pitched sound like any other switch with clear top housing NEW KAILH BOX RED SPECIFICATIONSĪctuation Force: 35gf Actuation Travel: 1.8mm Total Travel: 3.6mm Life Cycle: 80 million Cycles WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE It has all the characteristics of the popular Box switch design but with some minor changes and improvements. Today, we have something new from Kailh as they continue to innovate, we’re taking a look at their latest box switch which is the extremely lightweight 35g Box red switch. I actually tore them all apart and saw how they are contsructed and I’d say, that was actually fun and interesting. Last year, I did a full review of some of the most popular Kailh switches in different categories such as the traditional cross stem design, the popular Box type and the low profile choc switches.
