Clicky
Click-bar (Kailh style)
Clicky switches, as the name suggests, make an audible click when activated. Click bars are a Kailh brand innovation and have a small metal spring "bar" that creates the click noise - which can be heard on both the down and up stroke of a key press.
Mount type
Plate & PCB
Available in both
Spring
Kailh Box spring (smaller than MX)
Volume
loud
This is a loud switch. Not recommended for use in an office environment or others that don't appreciated a loud keyboard ;)
Notes
This switch is fairly clicky, along the sound level of clicking a pen open and closed with each key press.
Lubrication info
Factory lubed?
No
Notes
The stock switch has a bit of spring ping which can be solved by lubing with Krytox 205g0, GPL 105, or something similar. Make sure to avoid the click bar and the click bar contact points.
