Product Description

Not quite as fast as Kailh Speed switches—but no slouch, either—these Kaihua Kailh Pro Heavy switches have just 3.6 millimeters of travel and an operating actuation travel of 1.7 millimeters, which means you can type quickly and efficiently. This version is 20 grams heavier than the original Pro switches for a total weight of 70 grams Read More

Join this drop and wait till October, or just spend $3 more and get them from Novel Keys' site.

I'm in the middle of desoldering the keyboard I'm going to put these on. It's painfully slow.

Even though I LOVE the Box Navy's and even the Pale Blue's BUT having some Sage switches is certainly worth buying.
Very glad that we are now getting a whole gamut of different style of switches hitting MD these days.
Use to remember all you could get were the boring Blues and Browns, glad those days are long gone ; )

ElrickI've got an Iris with Sage switches that I use as my daily at home. They're really great switches to type on.

samuel_piresSorry, can't reply. I only tried them on switch testers. I ended up buying Zealios 67g back then for my build.

Package arrived and I have way more sage switches than I need, if someone who missed this wants to try them out. Cheers :)

Hari_SeldonI plan on buying some.
However, I was wondering on how you think they feel and sound compared to other switches. The click bar is all superior, but I like the way a click jacket feels tactility wise. How do they hold up?
Thank you.

HarmsSo personal. They are between the thin clickbar and the thick clickbar in tactility. I highly reccommend the Box Navy drop right now, they are bouncy and crisp, a real delight to use and worth trying out as a landmark switch. The Navy only have a 60g spring, but more force is needed to get through tactility, so very much a different feeling switch than the Sage, not for everyone. The Speed Navy switch has the thick clickbar but with the heavier 70g spring so to my fingers there's a more natural feel with the higher tension after the click, although the 1.1mm actuation isn't for me. (I wish there was an option for 70g spring in the Navy, I may take the springs from my Sage and put them in the Navy) Navy sound just great to my ears, crisp and deep with thick PBT or ABS keycaps, didn't try them with POM. The Sage were more wobbly than the Navy, but that was on my GMMK Hotswap, I can't say what happens after soldering on a proper board. Compared to the Cherry Blue the Sage have the shorter throw, a crisper click and a touch less rattle to my ears, but the only Cherry Blue I have kicking arond are soldered on a Coolermaster so it's not a solid comparison. My endgame switch would be a Box switch with clickbar thickness right inbetween the thick and thin clickbars, with a 65g spring. I have 12 different Kailh switches I've been testing on my GMMK, so far the Box Pale Blue are my favorite. So personal. EDIT - discovered in the long haul I much prefer 45-50g springs, so currently switched back to box whites for clicky, box reds for linear, and just getting into these amazing hako violets. EDIT - Wow, Mike over at Novelkeys actually made exactly that: mid-weight clickbar with a mid-weight spring. Have some on order now!! Super excited.
