Kalih Polia

Manufacturer: Kailh
Brand: Kailh

Kailh is back with a new take on tactile. Introducing the Polia switch: a smooth operator with a self-proclaimed “fourth” feel. Deviating from the big three (linear, clicky, and tactile), the Polia experience is termed “advanced tactile,” and it’s characterized by a relatively hefty actuation force, a lighter than normal operating force, and a smooth tactile bump. The closest cousin is purported to be the famed Holy Panda—not bad company to keep when it comes to tactile switches. Featuring 3-pin plate mounts with playful purple housings and see-through tops, Polia switches are available here in 70-, 90-, and 110-packs to fit any setup.
