The Infamous THICK CLICKS | Kailh Box Navy Switches Review (Sound Test)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- What's up everyone, here's my review and sound test of the Novelkeys x Kailh Box Navy switches! I actually got these in my mystery switch package from Novelkeys, so this was a great opportunity to try them out at a good price and see how they felt and sounded. These switches are similar to the popular Box Jade switches in that they have a thick click bar, but the spring weight on these switches is even heavier, giving them a unique feel and sound profile.
Let me know what you think of these switches and whether or not you would try them out for yourself!

I've just upgraded from Jades to Navys on my keyboard I used for work. It's like a whole new workout. My finger will grow 6-packs in the next few weeks.
why did you go from jades to navys?
@@unzkipriime4283 when I first ordered the click Bar switches I wanted to go for Box Whites. But before the order was shipped I changed my mind and opted for a somewhat heavier switch. Frankly just be cause I felt like it. I have fat hands... soooo.... I went for the Jades instead. And after over a year I wanted to try out other clickies. The reviews on the Clickiez were mixed and I didn't want to revert to click jackets. I was happy with the Jades weighting so I went with heavier instead of lighter switches. And from Jades there is only one option upwards the spring weighting ladder.
@@fuzzynine are you only typing on them or also gaming? im asking all this for own reference
@@unzkipriime4283 I play on them as well. But not competitive online games. And I have a noise cancelling headset that works pretty fine. 90% is work and typing. 10% is gaming. But I play "retro games" mostly action RPGs and stuff where you don't need an immense amount of concentration. So basically I'm not a good reference when it comes to playing games.
And yes. I think that playing on Kailh Speed Copper or Feker Pandas feels better than on the Navies and Jades.
@@fuzzynine alright, thanks a lot
A great video my friend. Fun fact: they're called box which is not because of the box shaped stem but because the leaf spring assembly is enclosed inside of that white box on the inside of the switch; which is why it needs that little green piece to actually actuate the spring inside of the box.
These are some great switches for an ultra-retro build, with tall rounded caps and a metal wraparound case for maximum click. That’s my idea endgame clicky build lmao
My brain felt so good listening to you type. Thank you.
This is the exact sound I want from my keyboard.
Like when I think “typing clicks” this is the sound
The typing sound you hear in cartoons/anime? Yeah, I feel you there.
I have Keychron V1 with Gateron Yellow Pros and I'm thinking of getting some of those Navy for specific keys like Esc and Home just so I can have some nice clicky experience now and then.
Clicky gang here and I loved the sound from these switches. I kinda prefer jades or pinks cuz they're lighter but it's still a much more improvement over mx blues/greens or any other clicky switches that uses a click jacket. Much less rattle and the tactility is much better imo. ^^
Oh yea and I think why ppl kinda hate on clicky switches is because they mostly hear the ones ones from mx blues or listening to any click bar switches without comparing to mx blues and just assumes that they sounded the same.
I totally agree, DEFINITELY an improvement over mx blues/greens. The click bar gives a nice tactility that's much more satisfying than the click jacket. I recently tried some kailh sages as well and they were not good at all, in my opinion. I have some jades, and the spring weight is much more comfortable to me compared to navies.
@@clackattackofficial Oh yea, I still yet to grab those sage switches for my collection cuz I'm collecting every single clicky switches in the market that's uses MX-Mount. Currently have 21 different clicky switches and so far, my favs are Arctic Fox switches. Their sound profile is much deeper than box jades/navies and it's a bit louder. If you can still tolerate how loud the jades/navies are at that point, I highly recommend trying the arctic foxes out! White owl switches is also an option as well cuz their sound profile is between Arctic foxes and Box Jades/Navies.
SKCM is king tho
@@basilp5179 that's true, I really wanted to get into skcm Ambers and blues for my future builds. Just that it's really hard and expensive to find. ;~;
@@ElasticoOFCL yeah :/ I wish someone could replicate the sound and feel of them. Perhaps the Clickiez will do so.
Ordered those along, with my Epomaker TH80 Pro Budgerigar switches. Keyboard already arrived, and it is thocky out of the box. I wonder, how they would feel when navy blues arrive.
Not into clicky switches but I put these Box Navy's on special keys like Esc, PrintSreen etc. just for the lulz and because they are the loudest I tested ^_^
where did you get your keycaps from they're really cool
What material is your plate? Im going to do a custom keyboard with navy switches and alu case and I dont know what plate to buy if PC or Alu
In navy gang too from today) at first seems a little bit too much after gateron blues, but with shitty keycaps, and of course it needs some time to get used to. But the sound... Guys... I was never pay attention to that, but they are SOLID! gaterons blue sound like annoying bee after them.
i am absolutely in love with my kailh navy keyboard, mainly because im such a heavy typer, i practically slam my fingers into my keyboards (popped off a couple of laptop membrane keycaps because of it!), so the heavy actuation is a plus for me :'-D
Can imagine the sound at 3 am💀, btw cool video💥👍
thanks so much! haha yeah, definitely might annoy some roommates/family members so use at your own risk lol
What is the keycap name?
Filled my keyboard with these recently. Every couple of weeks one starts double registering and needing replacing. Are they known to be unreliable?
I wish the click was heavier , something closer to an ALPS switch. They're still good
3:07 Chad-bars vs Virgin-jackets. Your keycaps and case do a lot of work to make blues sound decent. In normal condition blues are much much more high pitched than what was recorded here.
hahahahah true. they might *sound* decent but they feel completely different than the navies. I also like that the click bar gives it a click on the way up AND down, while the jacket only really gives a "click" on the way down
kailh are high pitched too, lol
Just waiting for someone to come out with a modern multi-media keyboard with RGB lighting and buckling spring switches....
What are the keycaps on this board? Love the color scheme! Also got navy's on the way to go in my "retro build."
did you ever find them? I can't find them!!
@@kevinaaronson i can't too. Want these keycaps so much...
Thanks for the video 👍
Does anyone know if the Box 'Crystal' Navy have the thick click bar as well, I can't find the info anywhere?
Yes, the Crystal Box Switches are the same mechanically as regular box switches.
bruh obvously the only diffrence is more rgb
I never thought I would like a clicky switch. I may have just been converted
I mean come on, it sounds like a rain-stick. Its so pretty
What's the name of the keycap set?
this is Tai Hao Hawaii!
Nice vid! I have Box Jade’s, but I’ve always wondered about the Navy’s. The absurd heavy weight seems like too much though. I already find the Box Navy’s a little fatiguing at times
Came today to navys from my first ever mechanical gateron blues. Damn, seems a little bit tough and hard to press) and i used to type on an old typewriter in my childhood))) but its with crappy oem keycaps, waiting for sa keycaps now.
I actually switched from Gateron Blues to these. I prefer them than the standard blues. Yes they are heavier but I found it way too easy to accidentally press keys by accident with the standard blues.
great video! how strong is the tactility compared to other switches?
Thank You! Compared to other switches, the tactility is pretty strong in my opinion. That being said, it's a different tactility than your traditional tactile switch. The heavy spring weight along with the thick click bar gives it a pretty unique feel, and there were times where i would press the switch but i didn't give it enough force to get past the tactile event and actually activate the switch.
@@clackattackofficial thanks for the response!
They are quite heaviest clickies you can get off shelf without playing spring swap. In my experience they feel bit heavier than buckling springs but unilke buckling springs you can lube springs without getting noticeable change in tactility of switch. I used them stock and they have disgusting amount of noise caused by unlubricated springs and that is what you need to remove just like stabilizer rattle to get only desirable noise from clickbars.
Btw if you get bored and you have switch opener you can remove clickbars and get very heavy almost linear switch.
@@oppaibuffs5265 gotcha, thanks!
I for one can happily game with my Kailh Box Navies... if my PC was actually up and running anyway.
Use o-rings on them, they feel INCREDIBLE! It makes them feel like really low actuation force, because you’re expecting to press the keys deeper, but they still give the super crisp loud, thick clicks.
ubuntu
nice.
Sounds like Lego imma buy them
i might regret this
this sound test makes me
A great video my friend. Fun fact: they're called box which is not because of the box shaped stem but because the leaf spring assembly is enclosed inside of that white box on the inside of the switch; which is why it needs that little green piece to actually actuate the spring inside of the box.
oh wow, the more you know! i had no idea, but i did open up the box inside the switch just to see how everything fit together
