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 first, and much more subtle point which I want to note is that the stem central pole region appears to be not only significantly thicker in diameter than other MX style switches, but much more flat and shorter as well. Relative to other iterations of Box switches both new and old alike, it’s also worth noting that this region is strangely completely covered whereas some older generations had intentional holes in bottom of the central pole region. However, it has been reported by some that this is was an issue (especially within the first year of release), though, I haven’t seen a complaint on it recently. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again.

The Kailh Box Mute Jades are better than the Gateron Ink Blue V2 switches with respect to stem wobble in both the N/S and E/W directions. Additionally, the fact that the measurement sheet also doubles as a means by which someone can effectively test frankenswitching combinations between stems and top housings to estimate wobble without actually having to try the switches first kind of kills the inclusion of the Kailh Box Muted Jades as Box style stems are incompatible with traditional MX style housings. Weird how people still report them cracking keycaps, the BOX switches are definitely not the tightest switches I’ve used, the U4Ts seems far wider and takes a lot more force to put on them keycaps and I havn’t read any reports on them cracking keycaps. I believe if you are able to have the finger stamina to type on these switches, you'll find them very satisfying, just as I did.Zeal and crew kicked off the custom switch scene many years ago with their iconic Zealios switches and the story of switches today couldn’t be told without them. Regarding the stem wobble of these two switches, the Box Mute Jades feel slightly less wobbly in both directions as compared to the original Box Jade switches, which may be likely due to simple mold and manufacturing improvements over the previous years since the initial release of the Jades.

Strangely, as well, there appears to be a minor amount of either factory grease or lubricant present though the functionality that it provides is still a mystery to me. 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. Externally, there is not all that much more to note about the top housings other than their iconic winglatch style attachment mechanism and inverted ‘Kailh’ nameplate identical to that of a slew of Box style switches before these.Reminds me more of MX Clear but more tactile (I sold my MX Clear board so I can’t compare the two right now). 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. In terms of overall sound, while the Kailh Pro Light Greens are slightly higher pitched than that of the Mute Jades, they are surprisingly similar in terms of overall volume and the closest comparison out of this initial comparison list.

International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. Now, the build went much as expected except when it came to the more open portions of the plate, being manufactured in a softer material (I believe the plate was Delron, which is similar to acrylic but with a bit more flex).Overall, I’d consider these perfect typing switches, and I can tell you that not many switches in my collection can hold that title.
