better than stock creams

While stock cream switches are scratchy and would benefit lubing, these Kailh Box Creams are smooth to type on right out of the box, Wouldn't bother lubing them as there isn't a noticeable difference between lubed & stock Kailh Box Creams.

An incredibly tasty switch

Oh man, it's butter-smooth. I showed these to my 63-year-old father, and I said "Hey look, dad! Box Creams!" and handed him one. Well, his eyesight isn't too good anymore, and he thought I said Brach's. I'm sure you can see where this is going. He popped one into his mouth and attempted to chew it, confirming that it is, indeed, a creamy and delicious switch, and not at all made of plastic hard enough to nearly break a tooth on. Honestly, though, you guys should sell white chocolate-coated espresso beans in this shape and color. These things look way too tasty not to be food. These are some light linears. Think MX Reds, but smoother. Way smoother. Like butter, even right out of the box without any lube. However, unlubed, these have a very faint spring ping. Some Krytox 205 makes it glide even better, and eliminates the ping. With a tape mod, you'll get a pretty deep thock. The actual switch on the inside is shrouded and appears to have a light touch of factory-applied grease. While you can mess with it, it's not necessary. A little on the spring and sides of the stem, and you're golden.

Suprisingly nice

I bought these because I'm a pretty big fan of regular creams and wanted to try these out. I actually like these better than the normal creams because the spring weight is more comfortable to me. My only concern is that the MX stems seem to flair out a little bit and I am concerned about cracking the keycaps (although I haven't seen any issues yet).

Came in great condition.

They're great switches. None came damaged or anything. I can definitely see how people would love these. Mine do have a noticeable friction-like sound, but I didn't notice any switch being inconsistent with the others. Definitely worth checking out if you want a switch as is without having to open it up.

Great linears

I truly love the feel of these switches, but definitely require lubing for them to feel and sound their best. I like the switch paired with a polycarbonate case best.

Ok, but needs lubing

Ok switch. I lubed all switches with 205g0 but doesen't feal nearly as smooth as my Tangerine switches. The sound is nice thoigh and there is very little wobble in the switch.
