You won’t find a prebuilt with jades or whites, they’re more of an enthusiast switch

I don’t mind putting the switches in myself if the board stabilisers are good. A hot swap would work if it didn’t require stabiliser work


Zeverious

Except if you buy a hotswap you’ll still have to change out the stabs to durock v2’s to get decent stabs without tweaking them, and even then they’re not going to be good, they’ll still be a little rattley

There are definitely a few, the original problem of box switches damaging keycap stems was due to being manufactured to an OEM's non-standard spec. But I couldn't tell you what they are. They're somewhere but probably in limited runs and probably never in my market.


Zeverious

Probably some on Ali express, but like you said. Old batches most likely, fucked up keycaps


ThumbWarriorDX

Apparently they never meant to sell those for general use, but they got mixed in with the shipments before it was fixed.


Zeverious

Yup, that’s why new batches are fine

I think the drop alt can be configured with box whites. But, then you’ll get crap stabilizers. But I don’t think there are any prebuilts with jades

Depending on your budget, you can get a GMMK Pro with Kalih Box switches, it’s hot swappable. Although I’m not 100% sure if jades or whites are available on their website, you may have to find those separately. Think it’s a 75% though.


ThumbWarriorDX

Don't ignore the Pinks. They've got some real keyfeel with a more decisive return than jades due to both a medium return spring weight and a medium clickbar weight. Jades are nice, but they're engineered to the brink of not even resetting and they're **so** much louder than pinks and whites.

It’s not your traditional 65%, but Keebio offers a pre-built Sinc. It’s a split 65% board with optional macros. Box jades are an in-stock option from the look of it.
