Kailh Box Jellyfish X is a clicky mechanical switch from Kailh released in March 2024 with a 47 gf operating force and 1.8 mm pre-travel, 3.6 mm total travel, and a manufacturer rating of At least 100 million keystrokes.
Three focused profiles from published switch specifications. No overall score is generated because feel and use case are personal.
Measures actuation, travel, and force. Shorter, lighter movement favors speed. Advanced input features add capability.
Measures bump or click intensity. It uses feel type and tactile-force rise. Higher scores mean stronger feedback.
Measures published lifespan evidence. It uses documented construction details. It does not predict real-world reliability.

Editor's Note: The Kailh Box Jellyfish X is a striking all-transparent clicky mechanical switch built around Kaihua's dust-proof IP54 box architecture. Utilizing a patented torsional click-bar mechanism alongside a durable nylon stem, it delivers an authoritative glass-like acoustic snap on downstroke and upstroke. Actuating at 47gf with a 57gf tactile crest across 3.6mm total travel, its clear polycarbonate body provides maximum RGB illumination pass-through with rated 100-million keystroke durability.
