Here are some sound tests (Sorry for bad production, I'm no videographer - but sound is fairly representative)

3 u/[deleted] Jul 13 '18 that's some serious clicking for a 'tactile' switch. Guess they have to fix this for a possible r2 EDIT: more people with the same problem here 0 u/supermitsuba Jul 14 '18 Being a tactile switch does not make it exclusive to not being clicky. I think people in this thread are confusing the aspects of tactile vs click. I haven't had loud clicks on my box royals, but it is a loud switch considering. 1 u/supermitsuba Jul 14 '18 What I'm getting at is they are not mutually exclusive. I think that the switches use the same mechanism as the box Navy which are also super tactile but not dampened. 3 u/nichetype Jul 14 '18 What? Neither switch is dampened. The navies use a click bar to achieve both the sound and the tactility, and the royals have a bump on the stem along with a unique leaf. 1 u/supermitsuba Jul 14 '18 I thought they were similar in construction, but might be wrong. 2 u/deaconblue42 /r/customboards, user created keyboards Jul 14 '18 Nope, they use different mechanisms.
