Kailh Canary

Manufacturer: Kailh
Brand: Domikey

"Taking the tactile switch to new heights, DOMIKEY teamed up with Kailh to create the Canary: an eye-catching switch with a satisfying feel and standout colorway. Made with the same POM housing as Kailh’s popular Box Cream switches, the Canary switch takes a turn for the bold with a bright yellow top housing and rich green bottom housing." - Drop.com
