Reply to comment by rlyon01 in Kailh BOX White switches are fantastic. by neoxx1

I have the same impressions about the wobble etc. From what I've seen Navy's are really heavy, so they're definitely not for me. They sound better than Whites though, same with Jades. What I got from a video comparing Kailh BOX clickies is that heavier switches have a deeper and imo better sound, but Whites sound amazing anyways.

I like the click but not the sound when the switch bottoms out. Fitted O-Rings which fixed that problem.

Isn't the bottom out sound depending nearly entirely on keycaps? From my experience every switch sounds the same when bottoming out, but maybe I'm just deaf.

The O-Rings are attached to each keycap stem. They dampen the bottoming. You are right about the switch. The Keyboard case seems to be an important factor. A light plastic case almost rings when the switch bottoms.
