Overview
Kailh Box White V1 Switches 10 pcs White Cross Stem in Protective MX Frame Width 15.6 mm Transparent Cover for RGB SMD for Keyboards

Kailh Box White V1 switches are designed for repairing and modifying mechanical keyboards. The package contains 10 Kailh Box White V1 switches, which you can use to replace the most frequently used keys or to try out this type of switch before a larger modification. The white stem with a cross mount is surrounded by a square frame typical of the Box series and is compatible with keycaps that meet the MX standard. The top cover of the housing is transparent and the bottom part is white, allowing the light from the LEDs to shine through around the key. The switches are suitable for both gaming and office keyboards that use MX mounts.

The switches are manufactured by Kailh and are supplied by the retailer KBDiy. According to the technical drawing, the Box series switch housing has a width of 15.6 mm. The bottom side features metal pins that fit into the socket or are soldered to the board. The white stem and white bottom part of the housing provide a consistent light appearance that matches well with light and transparent keycaps.

The switch is inserted from the top into the mounting plate or directly into the socket and is held in place by the side clips of the housing. The press of the keycap is transmitted through the stem to the mechanism inside the housing, and upon release, the key returns to its original position. The frame around the cross mount surrounds the stem on all sides. You can use keycaps from various sets on the switches as long as they have MX mounts.

Before replacing, check whether your keyboard uses sockets for removable switches or if the switches are soldered to the board. For keyboards with sockets, you can remove the keycap, pull out the original switch using a puller, and insert the new one ensuring the pins fit precisely in the holes. For soldered boards, you will need to desolder the old switch and solder in the new one. When installing, be careful not to bend the metal pins, and store any unused switches in a dry place away from dust.

Ten Kailh Box White V1 switches are a practical choice for repairing or partially modifying a keyboard. The white stem in the Box frame fits standard keycaps and the transparent cover enhances the backlighting effect. The package is sufficient for a group of WASD keys and several other frequently used keys. The switches will be appreciated by gamers and enthusiasts who build their own keyboards. It is an affordable way to restore full functionality to a keyboard or give it a new character.
