Our Verdict

Cherry MX Blue

Kailh Box Jade

Cherry MX Blue and Kailh Box Jade are clicky switches. The Cherry switches are comparatively more lightweight and have a click jacket design, so they only make a click sound on the downstroke. On the other hand, the Kailh switches feel heavier and have a click bar design, creating a clicking sound on both the downstroke and upstroke.
