They sound pretty nice!

How is the bump compared to Halo Clears or Kailh Box tacticle such as Orange and Brown?

I hope this means PCB mount clickbars soon…

I imagine if you really hated your time enough, you could take these housings and swap in the stem and bar from a white.

PCB mount - neat
Clear bits - neat
That price - fuckin oof

They feel like a smoother box Royal that also sounds better.

The stem bump looks exactly like royals and the leaf feels extra stiff like in royals.

Not sure why these aren’t called Crystal Royals

This is a better typing test… Better microphone, settings, etc.

So it’s pretty much an improved, unbranded Royal, huh?

They’ve also dropped the hole in the base of the switch, right? So now BOX switches have become much more close to their MX cousins. Interesting. I wonder if they take to lube any better than they used to, because I’d like to mess with BOX linears and clickies to see if lube can improve them much.

That’s funny, I didn’t even notice the bumhole was missing, but you’re right! It’s gone.

I’ll probably try lubing them.
