Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro Box Whale is a silent tactile mechanical switch from Kailh released in July 2024 with a 40 gf operating force and 2 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: Most silent tactile switches either lose their bump or feel sluggish, but the Whale keeps a firm, rounded 60 gf bump right near the start of the press. Real customer feedback highlights its satisfying tactile feedback paired with genuine library-level quiet. Internal rubber pads kill the clatter on both downstroke and return, while the extended spring pushes the key back up quickly to prevent fatigue. It's ideal for programmers and writers who want clear physical feedback without disturbing anyone nearby.
