Thick Clicks: Novelkeys Box Jades Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Dubbed the 'Thick Clicks' switches, the Novelkeys Box Jades are, as the name would suggest, clicky switches that set a precedent in mx style switch tactility. Still... too much of something is not necessary good.

Going from cherry blue to kailh box jade/navy is like going from a honda civic to a ferrari
Went from cherry blues to gateron blues, to alps whites, and now am doing a build with box jades
@@evanroot9857 good shit man
Don't insult my boi Civic like that
*cries in outemu reds*
@@evanroot9857 They are more like alps white than cherry. Only less 'crunchy'? Alps only start feeling like that when dirty, but you know what I am saying, they feel crisper, but the tactility is similar.
THIS CHANNEL IS A HIDDEN GEM WHY AM I FINDING THIS CHANNEL NOW?
Fairly young channel, by the looks of it... Considering I just watched every video and the first one dates back to 4 months ago.
Eagerly await more of this, and for him to profess his love for holy pandas.

r/mkindia is helpful. mechkeys stocks some good switches and some boards.

so yeah only mechkeys.
A hidden jade, one might say...

Great review, really enjoy the extra effort you put in with over the top editing.
glad you liked it!
theres more effort to edit this video than it takes to actuate the switches
@@Glarsesah, glasses, we meet again
*mx browns are better*
I daily drive Box Navies. Love them, and love your videos. The perfect balance of sarcasm and deadpan delivery. Thank you!!
unbelievable! lol, glad you liked it!
I daily navies, I need more tactile
@@Glarses i daily box jades with sa keycaps, i wear headphones 99% of the time im at PC so it doesnt bother me and they are sooooo satisfying

@@colton69669 a bit late tho
@@tydshiin5783 yeah
This meme alone really helps me understand the difference between blue switch and this switch
I always have headphones on on my PC and box jades were the first clicky switch I have used that actually function as clicky when wearing headphones :) I work alone so I have no one to annoy. The FEELING of the switches is why I like them. If I didn't wear headphones, the sound would probably annoy me too, but yeah, not an issue for me. I have had complaints in game before, people saying it sounded like arcade microswitches xD They aren't wrong, that is exactly how they sound.
I wish they made tactile switches with the click bar. Great tactility, minus the ear-deafening.
@@devin1234 You should go to a mechanical keyboard forum and put up an [IC] interest check to see if other people do, then you can go from there!
@@ExabyteAU
Don't really have the time or resources to run a group buy, also AFAIK Kailh has the patents to the click bar and box design.
@@devin1234 i suggest checking the box royals. they aim to mimic the tactility of the thick click switches, minus the click. might be right up your alley
@@ryandewerff
Heard the box royals also eventually turn clicky after a bit of use.
Your video convinced me to get box jades. As a long time Model M user, these are perfect for me. I work from home and my job is on average 10 hours of typing (programming/engineer work). I LOVE these switches. Dropped em in a Tofu 65 with a brass plate and no foam, the sound is lovely. Stabilised keys sound fantastic once you do your stab mods. CRISPY switches. The Crispiest.
I personally love these switches. They sound so crispy and I just love hearing them as someone who does quite a lot of content writing.
Really great energy and content here, man! I’ve been looking to get my hands on some box jades. I fell in love with the click sound.
thanks! yeah, the click is really something else, got to experience it at least once
Great channel! I loved the youtube video. I consider myself an enthusiast but never took the time to actually learn about the super technical aspect of each switch. Most higher end reviews go over my head for that reason but you did a great job explaining it so I could actually understand the way it worked. Just went and ordered a set for my gk64! I hope to see your channel grow immensely in the future so I can say I was one of the first 200 subs
Hey! Glad you liked the review and it was easy to digest. I'm still faaaairly new to the hobby and am still definitely learning a lot of stuff so hopefully I'll be able to continue making reviews and what not like this. And the GK64! That was my first custom! Good little board, paired with some box jades you're in for some fun (just be aware of the 1u right shift...)
I don't know English so I can't understand the details, But I love this video！
thank you! didn't think I would have non english viewers, maybe I'll consider making subtitles/auto translation possible?
Glarses Thank you! take it easy. I'm looking forward to watching your movies!

Daily drive Box jades, absolutely LOVELY i love the noise lmfao. and the person i share an "office" (pronounced nerd gaming cave) with uses Blues, so we got the clicks for days.
you are a goddamn madman. I salute you.
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the noise from a clicky switch like that xDDD
I also daily drive jades and a coworker mentioned how loud they were over teams last week. I picked up my Unicomp mini m and had him take a listen. And I said, well... I could be using that. He thanked me for the jades. 😂
since its a pretty high frequency my sister cant hear them in her room and I cant heat through my headphones! decided im gonna go for them as I found out the acuation is after the bump not the click, meaning they are great for keys like w in minecraft. its like a tactile clicky when you are typing, and linear when gaming, perfect!
You: too loud
Me: rocking box navy's since release while wearing open back headphones. The clicks are calming and satisfying for me lol
Do the box navies feel heavy? Like do they make you tired easy because im trying to decide between the kalih box navy or pink or jade
...I... I really do like the sound of my Jades, but he is right on one thing. YOU WILL BOTTOM OUT... The tactility of the click bar for these things is absolutely massive and you just follow through all the way down with the Jades. That being said, I partially got these so that I didn't bottom out that often, and was sorta wondering if the weight of the navies cancels out the follow through of the click bar to the point where you don't just immediately bottom out.
@@BasiliskHill Im not that good at keyboards but uhh what do you mean by bottoming out
@@nasser5000 Pushing the switch all the way to the bottom of its casing / key travel, as opposed to pressing the key down to just the actuation point (which is usually just after the click)
@@BasiliskHill is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Dude I love your style of comedy so much, can't wait to see you blow up man 🙏 One feedback I have is to make your voice louder when there's background music :)
thank you, will do!
Some people played and bashed their GI joe and super hero action figures together as kids in their imaginary fights. Glarses was making his key caps duel to the death.
I was watching Destiny 2 videos but this was a pleasant surprise 😂 Good shit man. Sometimes RUclips recommended actually gives good results
This is quality original content. Subscribed!
I have done some initial sound tests with this on a tester, and you're right. At the moment the jades sound like a holiday, but in the office, I would probably become enemy number 1. Looking at the Box Whites instead currently, because the click is softer.
I am binging your channel now
Feels good to find content like this out of the blue
Bro, intro was on point! Great editing.
Dayum man, you make nice videos! Right mix of informative and entertaining. How you aren't at 5X the subscribers is beyond me.
Funny as hell. Maybe make a follow up with some o-rings?
potentially! wonder what they would be like with them
more like box rings
hey mate, ive watched a few of your videos now that i fell into this MK rabbit hole. i really like the depth of content and your personal flare, it makes for really easy but informative information. thanks and keep it up

I've been daily driving my BOX Navies ever since I got them, and I actually like the clicks they make...

@@acowo good for you! Although, you might wanna get used to typing as if you're angry, cause they are noticeably heavier than 99% of all other switches out there haha. Dont take my word for it though, I personally got used to it in less than a week, and love the tactility and clicks they make. Besides, if you dont like them, you could always sell them and get BOX Jades instead cause they're lighter and they still offer the satisfying T H I C C C L I C K S

I don't know man, it's the first ever video of yours that I watch and you've earned my sub just for that intro.
And you didn't disappoint on the rest of the video. Gg
i think i just found my favorite youtuber
woah
Still my favorite glarses video. The 5 boxed jades vs the 1 mx blue reference was priceless.
@ 4:32 LMAO TOMMYINNIT
loud keyboard for loud child
You sold it to me with "piss everyone off within a 2 mile radius" 😂😂😂
I'm sure this was mentioned already, but changing the springs inside of the box jades fixes that slowness on the rebound. Basically the springs inside of them stock don't have enough force to alway shave the stem go all the way back up.
still my favourite glarses video, the intro gets me every time
still not as loud as my model f, but now that I have had both, my model f oddly enough doesnt irritate anyone in my house, whereas jades immediately get a complaint, though my sister uses clicky switches in her board as well(my old razer ornata) and everyone in our house is just used to it. Only reason I use a Topre as a backup is when I am gaming in a voice chat. There my model f is just simply inappropriate.
Oh I NEED these. Best soothing ASMR keyboard. I could sleep to these.
You say you won't use them and as soon as I hear them on that GMMK I say to myself "I want that."
Been watching keyboard stuff for months and I'm only just now finding this guy? Crazy. Love the content my friend keep it up!
Welcome aboard!
Honestly the best use for clickies to me is never in a full keyboard, but in a macropad or other "off to the side" thing, like a separate numpad if you need faster data entry.
I bought a set. I don't know why I bought a set, but I did. 100% agree about that weird feeling like they're sticking - the click bar provides some resistance on the upswing I guess. They are loud. The bump is short and fast - you hit it and you will finish up at the bottom. It's like the bump pushes your finger and the switch the rest of the way home.
But they are kinda fun. Typing required a certain amount of certainty - you don't second guess a click with these. I didn't mind the sound as much as I thought. But I'm back to my halos for now. I am waiting to hear what you say about Glorious Pandas ( you did get your promo boxes, didn't you?).
Love your videos, keep em coming.
I just order some. Hopefully, they'll make my roommate move out.
Wish me luck guys!
@DarkWolf tAmEr Ya, but I didn't take into account the side effects. I'm now deaf.

Dude, I’m new to keyboards and loving this obscure, nerdy community. Just got into it literally as something to put on while I go to sleep, but your videos are hilarious!
Thiccbars lol
I just got some of these and love them. I like the sound a lot, and since I don't use my keyboard too often, I don't think I'll get tired if them. Definitely a couple dozen steps ahead of my previous outemu blues.
I’m daily driving box jade right now, I love the feel and sound but I typed so much slower with them for some reason
same! im typing so much slower with them lmao
It's because the double-click makes you feel like you're typing twice as much, so you get lazy. lol. Kidding aside, if you have very large hands, the thicker bump speeds you up because you make fewer mistakes with the heavy fingers and they plow right through the bumps. I can get over 100wmp on my clicky switches but only 75 to 85 on my linears due to the errors.
Dude, I love your editing. You got a sub

Everything is solid about the video, just a very slight echo which i know you will take care of, editing is also solid. Love the experience
I removed the part that clicks and now they are linear LMAO
i just realized that the entire vid the box sherbets are reflecting in his glarses
Ive used these switches stock for about a four months now, and I still love them. i guess I am deemed crazy now. (the click doesn't bother me at all, I love it)
Video: "Omae wa mou shindeiru"
Closed Captions: "oh my Cindy"
came back to this video after finally replacing my board that had box jades (and navies for the modifiers) that i bought after watching this when it first came out and, yes, you do have to be a certain type of crazy to use them for a long time, but for years i absolutely loved them. really i still do, but i just feel bad about them being so loud and the insane amount of tactility has made my rsi worse so i've pivoted to linear switches. still an incredible switch though, they sound and feel amazing out of the box with no work required. they just may take a piece of your sanity in return. 10/10
I've had a go playing with Box Jades, Box Whites, and Box Pinks. The Box Whites were too piss weak, not enough tactility (near MX Blue levels). The Box Jades were very tactile, but I experienced what you were saying about them being impossible not to bottom out. I felt like there was a mismatch between how THICC the clickbar was and the somewhat light spring (same as a Box Whites). The Box Jade experience is a bit uneven in comparison, and I think I understand what some users have said about feeling like Jades do not seem return quickly enough (though this doesn't happen, just felt like it could have).
The Box Pinks were my favourite of the 3. Very good levels of tactility, and the force required to overcome the spring and clickbar felt well matched, making for an 'even' experience. However I've been ruined by using Cherry MX Blues for so long that I found them slightly fatiguing. I found the solution though. Mod Box Pink switches by switching out the springs with those in Box Whites (as Chyrosran22 suggested). Easily my favourite. They have the excellent tactility of the Box Pinks while not being fatiguing at all. They also maintained that 'even, smooth' feeling I had with the stock Pinks too. The last thing to do is to lube them to reduce the 'spring ping' noise... (ruclips.net/video/hIOi8ppUG3o/видео.html#t=19m50s).
So the perfect clicky switch = Kailh Box Pinks modded (springs switched with Box White springs, and lubed).
Yup same. But even though modded BOX Pinks felt the best, their sound profile wasn't as good for me, so I ended up going back to just regular BOX Pinks. They have the perfect balance of clickiness tactility and weighting for me. Very underrated switch imho
is stock box pinks easier to type on compared to jades? I tried jades and feel that the tactility is too much, like the switch press back at you when you press them, particularly on higher typing speed. Wanted to try pinks but some says they're not very different to the box whites.
Great video, and good editing! I might suggest normalizing your audio though (you can look up how to do that, it's just a few clicks). I chromecasted this to my TV and had to keep turning the audio up and down. And for parts you want to be comedically loud, you can use a compression effect (this gives the impression of loudness without actually affecting peak audio amplitude)!
Am I the only one who absolutely LOVES these switches? I guess tbf I've only tried them out briefly, but I thought they felt and sounded freaking amazing. I guess I'm just some kind of freak or aberration :P
hey man, great video. starting to get into mechanical keyboards myself recently.
pro tip: lower the background music volume, because it sometimes drowns out your voice. dunno if this still happens in newer videos.
I haven't finished the video, but I have to take a second to applaud the opening. Bravo, sir.
Pretty much nailed it. The click bar is AWESOME and I was thinking of using them until I looked up a sound test and realized the same thing you did. I'd lose my fucking mind using these switches
I almost never comment, but wow, these are laugh-out-loud funny switch videos. Mad probs on this content. Only just discoved and I am binging.
thank you so much for not using the screech sound part of the omae wa mou shinderou
I could fall asleep to that sound anytime
The best start for a keyboard review video.
they are perfect for when you want to use closed-back headphones but still hear your typing
Two things I love: 1) my BOX Jades 2) this review. Welcome to the community.
Okay, @Glarses... I need your advice. Now I love these box jades, I have been using them for a couple of weeks and the click does not bother me, it may bother my husband when I use my keyboard at night when he is sleeping and I am working (from home) but he says it is not as bad at my cherry mx blues so not a big deal there. The problem I am having is that I do not like the keycaps that I have with this keyboard. I know most enthusiasts enjoy the thock or whatever lmao they usually like linear switches, and tend to lean more towards standard or high profile cases. I enjoy a low profile case, clicky switches and textured keycaps. Right now my keyboard is low profile and my switches of course are box jades. I am looking for a textured keycap with a DSA or XDA profile. Something that will make the sound of the switches a bit more full and deep and lessen the amount of vibration from the upclick. I am not sure if you will see this or respond but I have been looking everywhere and really struggling to search for the right thing or input the right string of information to get a good answer as to what kind of keycap this might be. Any suggestions?
I just bought kailh jade from Ali express I hope they are good!😊
This is the best way to review switches and no one else can tell me otherwise.
Currently on Box Navys with two-stage 45g springs (so effectively a bit lighter than Jades) and as someone who always prefered clicky switches (yes, I live by myself, how could you tell), I outright love the snappy click on these. Everything else in Cherry-likes just feels hollow and pingy by comparison.
me chilling with box jades as my main switch of choice
Are these from Kailh? Because the video says “Novel Keys”.
I’m new to this and I’m confused. Spent the last two days informing myself online as well as going to an electronic store that has “gamer” keyboards.
Liked the Asus with cherry blues from feel and sound but now I see this and that and I’m like whaaat?🤯
I modded a Drevo Calibur with Box Navy's.. I am that specific person ;) Great channel man, subbed!
Reds: I’m normal
Browns: i’M nOrMaL
Blues: *IM NORMAL*
I must be crazy, because I just got a 10 pack of box jades, and I actually really like the noise and feeling of these switches, and cant wait to do my whole board
Man ur videos crack me up, good job
I love my box jades soo much, because it reminds me of buckling spring somewhat.
Just found this channel. I've been daily driving Box Jades in my GMMK Fullsize for months now. Guess I'm crazy. :)
made my dad a custom board with box jades and he loves them. He likes the sound, the feel, everything.
Box Royals have about the same tactility, but the end of the curve is stepped and slightly less sharp, plus they don't click. I would love to see you do a review on the Box Royals, the sound is truly amazing, and not enough youtubers have reviewed the switch. As a tactile enthusiast, I think it' be entertaining to see your take.
I love the editing quality here
Bro this is some good content, super unique and funny!
Not sure if I want to upgrade yet I’m pretty happy with my blue switches I currently use. If I do ever upgrade I’ll be sure to try jades out :) awesome vid!
The first 20 seconds were incredible. Subbed.
I should've expected that someone within keyboard community will make comedic and meme-y style of videos.
I shouldn't be surprised lol, but I'm glad to bump into this; I'm an addict to laughter.
Still, imma buy this switch surely down the line. Tactility and feedback is something that I crave for in my peripherals.
glad you enjoyed it - these switches are a great way to experience the best mx style switches have to offer, both in terms of tactility and sound
Box jades are really nice to type on, as you already said it gets a bit noisy. Your board sounded a little hollow, i put some packing foam underneath the pcb and between the case, makes them a little more poppy and better sounding in my opinion. They can be modded into some nice linear switches if you do a jacket mod to them.
i am so glad i found this channel
Wow. I've seen this video a few times and just noticed the Piper Perri reference. Bravo.
