Kailh Box Royal Mechanical Switch Tactile 45g

Pretty nice.

Not exactly as aggressive as I had read or was hoping, but they’re still pretty great. Also read they start to click after a while but a few of mine click right away. I prefer clicky, so I don’t mind. Will most likely just stick with Clickies.

A bit much

Mind you, this is from a newbie to mechanical keyboards, who was transitioning off of Cherry MX Brown at the time. I understand that the MX Browns are broadly considered barely tactile, so take my experience with a grain of salt. I think this review will best serve people who are like me. It won't include any of the nuances that experienced users will be looking for. That being said, they were a bit heavy for me. I felt like I had to strike the keyboard as opposed to just tapping away at the keys. The sound was very nice, so I kept using them for a month or so in the hopes that I would get acclimatized to them, but I just never did. As someone who both codes and writes on a daily basis, it just wasn't to my taste.

Almost clicky with different sound/ behaviour depending on placement

So I added those switches just for a few keys, like arrow/ ctrl/ space… the weird thing is that they behave different depending on the key. Some are almost clicky, some are nicely tactile. I’m already looking for a different switch for my „fast use keys“. When the switches behave almost clicky, that drives me crazy :D Other than that, the quality of the switches seems quite high, minimal rattling, nice bump. Just not exactly what I’m into ;)
