Kailh BOX Navy
ClickyThe heavyweight champion of clickies: the thick click bar with far more spring behind it, Kailh-rated 60 gf to actuate and 95 gf at the click peak. The deepest, loudest, most physically forceful click you can currently buy new.
Sound & feel
BOX Navy is BOX Jade pushed to its logical extreme, the same thick click bar, rated by Kailh at 60 gf to actuate but peaking at 95 gf through the click itself. The snap is violent in the best way: the deepest and most forceful click in modern production, paired with a bump you could never miss. Kailh publishes no bottom-out force for BOX Navy, so that row is blank here rather than carrying the 95 under the wrong label.
The weight is genuinely demanding; full-time Navy typists are a self-selecting breed with strong opinions and stronger fingers. Many builders instead deploy Navies selectively, on spacebars or macro keys where the emphatic feedback shines.
As the maximal point on the clicky spectrum, it's an essential sound for the simulator, the modern switch that comes closest to buckling-spring levels of commitment.
Sound on this page is synthesized from the switch's published specs and community-documented character: an honest simulation, not a recording. We're progressively replacing simulations with our own studio recordings. How our sounds are made
