As this seller is not necessarily manufacturing the switches themselves, this first portion is more about the distribution of the switches. They are legit Kailh switches. None had any whacky bent pins or busted stems or anything. Switch puller tool is basically useless but is appreciated all the same. Cost per switch (~$0.51 each) is pretty much in line for what you'd pay at a retailer like Mechanical Keyboards or something similar. Only gripe I have is that I can't fully kit a 104-switch board unless I buy two of these 65-switch packs, of which I wouldn't have any use for almost half of the second pack. I do understand this comes down to unit pricing and moreover many people won't be using a full sized 104-switch board like me, but I would still like the option to purchase larger sized packs that could more reasonably fulfil different size breakpoints without too many extras (e.g., say 110, 90, 70, etc.).As far as reviewing the switches themselves, if you're buying Kailh Box switches you already pretty much know what you're looking for. I originally bought jades for my full keyboard but I found the jades to be a bit too stiff for writing code. I tend to sort of touch type -- not necessarily like a stenographer or any kind of educated professional but still with a light touch instead of pounding on the keys -- and I was finding I was misfiring and not fully actuating the jades, so I would end up missing letters I mean to type. I also found the jades uncomfortable to use for keys that required my pinky like backspace or shortcuts where my hand is more spread out (e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+F). The jades were also surprisingly fatiguing for gaming because of the extra force required to actuate, however this might be a me problem and is obviously up to preference. I never had any type of fatigue from a keyboard before but when gaming, the jade force to actuate gave me a bit of ache in my left wrist from having to really press on WASD for long periods.However I kept the jades for ancillary keys such as escape, function keys, navigation keys, numpad, etc. and I highly recommend mixing and matching switches for the type of feedback you want from different keys. I really like the heavier force required for those keys as I typically use them for something like navigating around code, debugging, or whatever else that requires a very deliberate action to proceed. I also tend to pound those keys for those function (as opposed to touch typing for general input) so the heavier jades are perfect for it. I also typically use the numpad for custom macros so again those are usually very deliberate actions which are nice with the heavier jades.The box whites by contrast are a dream for general input. They are super light for touch typing (no misfires after using for a few days) with still a subtle higher pitched click from the bar. The click is a bit difficult to describe, but the click bar produces a much higher pitched click than click jackets. However the click bar is less intense and you end up with a sort of deeper overall sound with higher pitched keypress accentuation. Compared to something like Cherry MX Blues or Gateron Blues, the rattle of the jacket produces a more full overall "click" which is the dominant sound of the keypress. You can try this out if you have a click jacket switch: put a keycap on it and rub your finger over the switch side to side, you will get a bit of a rattle -- that rattle actually contributes to the overall sound profile of the switch when you're typing as well. The box switch design doesn't have that rattle, and so it is a much cleaner but less intense click. The box switch style also has a lot less key "wiggle" for the same reason, since the entire stem rests against the walls of the housing (as opposed to traditional switch style where the cherry stem is the only portion outside of the switch housing).Because of the less intense click bar sound, with these switches you actually tend to hear more of the impact from your keys bottoming out that are slightly accentuated by the click, rather than the more predominant click+rattle of a click jacket switch. If you don't like key clacking you may actually want to consider keycap o-rings to dampen that bottoming out sound. Your case acoustics also will really affect the sound you get from these switches for the same reason (e.g., if you have a very hollow case you will have a much different sound than a foam padded/tight case). The box whites also do not have any tactile feedback bump as opposed to box jades which have a very noticeable bump. While I generally prefer tactile feedback, I was surprised that I enjoyed the light feel of the box whites so much for general typing.Additionally, the click bar design also does not have any type of hysteresis that most click jackets have. There's actually a lot of inconsistency as to what this actually refers to (e.g., some people will refer to this as the delay between actuation and click, whereas other people will refer to this describing the actuation point versus the reset point of the switch). Generally the box switches can be described as having no hysteresis, essentially meaning that all things being equal the switch actuates and resets at the same points in the vertical travel axis, and there is very little delay between the click and each of those points. I actually found with both the box whites and jades that the reset point is slightly lower than the reset click (e.g., your switch is "closed" or "fires" exclusively and immediately after the down click, but stops firing just slightly before the return click -- my guess is this is due to the play between the force required to move past the click bar on the way up vs. the electrical circuit actually being broken prior to that upward click). This is entirely up to your personal preference but I didn't have any issues with typing, writing code, or gaming.Overall both jade and whites are great switches for what I need and highly recommend them for their respective functions on the board.

Do not underestimate how heavy the Navy's are. Order the 10-pack first to try them. Listen to the people saying they are REALLY heavy, unlike me.While I haven't ever had the pleasure of using one, these must be the closest modern equivalent to using a vintage typewriter.I scoffed a those warning about the actuation force - don't. I thought it was going to be a MX Red vs MX Black situation - they're basically the same, NOPE.I got these for a macropad and a number pad, thinking, great, super heavy, sharp, loud, clicky switches. I know what macro key I'm hitting and what number I'm entering with great accuracy.These are so heavy I find myself missing numbers because I'm not reaching the actuation point.For my purpose, I think they still have great potential and I'm going to see if I get used to them.For putting in a full keyboard, for writing words, I think even gorilla style typers are going to tire quickly.Not for everyone but a super well made and unique switch.

This switch is definitely a premium clicky switch. Forceful bump and loud audible click.

It's truly hard to put into words how great these Kailh Winters feel. They have their tactile bump almost instantaneously, so there's no weird mushiness before the bump or after. The finger "feedback" is therefore instantaneous, so, remarkably, they feel better and more responsive than any clicky switch I've ever used.The other thing is that the tactile bump on these Winters feels almost as lightweight as the force equivalent to many clicky pre-travel/ramp force, which is to say that if you're coming from a Kailh Box White, Noble Yellow, Cherry Blue, etc, you're not going to feel any kind of fatigue whatsoever. I find most tactile switches a bit more fatiguing than clickies, but these are a completely different kind of tactile switch! Love them!

These are perfectly weighted medium/light tactile switches with a classic P style bump. The smoothness is 9 out of 10 with a sound profile in-between a thock and clack. These are great for an everyday workhorse keyboard for both gaming and typing.

Huge upgrade from the previous linear switches. Feared they might be too stiff, but I think they feel great. Love the tactile positive engagement and clicky feedback. Not exactly the same, but similar to the original IBM-PC keyboards.Installation on a Drop-Ctrl keyboard was pretty easy, with no bad switches in the box.Fast shipping, overall excellent product and vendor.

Used these on one of my hotswap keyboards. Every switch worked. Some of the pins did come in bent but it's not worth taking a star away from it. Just bend them back and expect this with any switch tbh. The price is decent and I'd take a few bent pins over paying extra money for packaging that may or may not resolve the problem. If your keyboard is RGB the switches are compatible and look good.

Great clickies but kinda heavy and gets annoying after the first few days.

They're good.

Incroyables ces switch, j'ai pris les JADE et je ne pourrais jamais revenir en arriere. Le feeling est excellent, a la fois clicky et tactile. C'est orgasmique.

I like clicky switches but the standard blues were a bit to loud and just not so smooth. I had read a lot about these Kailh Jade switches and took the plunge.I have a EpoMaker TH96 Pro keyboard (Amazing keyboard!) and though it did have some really nice tactile switches, I wanted a clicky switch so I got the Jades. This was delivered on time and most important all but one switch worked and no bent pins out of the 90!!!!!Changing them over was a breeze. The action is so smooth with a nice clicky feel but not overly loud, just a very nice smooth action with just the right amount of weight for me. Very nice switches and anyone who likes clicky switches should give these a try!!!!

For typists that prefer a light crisp switch with a snappy return. There is no initial give, the tactile bump is right at the top like Boba U4Ts but with little resistance after the bump is overcome. The switches are smooth but I wouldn’t say they are quiet - there is a “clack” when they return (a little lube could fix that). I’ve installed them on both my daily drivers (Keyboardio Atreus with the Miryoku layout).

Ja, die Switches sind wirklich sehr gut. Die haben schon seit längerer Zeit einen besonders guten Ruf, und den kann ich nicht widersprechen. Das schreiben auf der Tastatur mit diesen Switches fühlt sich einfach 100x Hochwertiger an als jede Tastatur die ich bisher Besitzt habe. Kommt natürlich auch auf das Keyboard an sich an, aber ich bin der Meinung, dass Switches einen wesentlichen Bestandteil der Tipperfahrung ausmachen. Klare Kaufempfehlung für jeden Tastatur enthusiasten.
