Kailh BOX Cream Mechanical Switches

Combining two of its most popular switch designs—BOX and Cream—Kailh has created a new switch that’s both durable and a joy to press. It’s called the Kailh BOX Cream, and it features the same design as the linear Cream, with Kailh’s BOX housing for extra protection. Known for their ultra-smooth travel, Cream switches are a top choice among linear fans in search of a truly seamless typing experience. Throw in the dust- and moisture-protection of the BOX design, and that seamless experience now lasts longer than ever before. With all housing components made from POM, the PCB-mountable Kailh BOX Cream switch is available in three pack sizes to fit most boards.

 Strong, smooth, and see-through, Everglide’s first stabilizer set was a big hit in the mech keys community. Now, the second generation has arrived with updated housings and two additional colorways. Like their predecessors, the V2 stabilizers work with MX-compatible PCBs and drastically reduce typing noise. Where they improve on the first generation’s design is in their pop-out resistance: each stabilizer features updated housings that do an even better job staying put during custom builds. Gold plating provides excellent hardness and oxidation resistance, while colorful components add extra flair to any board. With "pre-clipped” inserts to eliminate the need for feet clipping, plus specially shaped outer casings to prevent threads from stripping, these stabilizers are ready for easy installation and sustained use.

Like a little metal briefcase on your keychain, this two-in-one aluminum switch opener goes anywhere you go in style. Secured by magnets, it has two sides: one for Cherry MX switches, the other for Kailh BOX switches. To open a switch, just press it into the prongs on the corresponding side and watch as it opens up.

When it comes to mechanical keyboards, half the fun is swapping switches, keycaps, and components. Hotswappable keyboards are convenient ways to audition new switch types without the need to solder, but some PCBs have really stiff sockets and pins—so having a high-quality switch puller can save you a lot of time and effort. This high-quality puller from LOOP has a rubber coating for grippability and comfort, meaning you won’t have to worry about stiffness when pulling lots of switches. And the hooked, inward-curving claws reach safely and snugly around your hot-swappable or desoldered switches to give you leverage without doing damage.
