Popular Keyboard Switch Comparisons
Cherry MX Blue
Cherry MX Blue and Kailh Box Jade are clicky switches. The Cherry switches are comparatively more lightweight and have a click jacket design, so they only make a click sound on the downstroke. On the other hand, the Kailh switches feel heavier and have a click bar design, creating a clicking sound on both the downstroke and upstroke.
Kailh Box White
Kailh Box White and Kailh Box Jade are similar clicky switches with click bar designs, which means they make a signature clicking sound on the downstroke and upstroke. The Box Jade switches are noticeably louder and significantly heavier-feeling.
