Our Verdict
Cherry MX Blue
Kailh Box White
Cherry MX Blue and Kailh Box White are both clicky switches. The Cherry switches have a click jacket design, making a click on the downstroke. They're also noticeably heavier feeling. On the other hand, the Kailh Box White switches are more lightweight and have a click bar design, making a clicking noise on both the down and upstroke.
