How do Alps compare to Box? I’ve been wanting to get some Box Jades, but I really am just trying to replicate buckling springs, too. May just skip all that and go for a Unicomp.
Yeah if you really want buckling just get them, nothing else is exactly the same.
I used to default to box jades but switched to a stiffer click bar from Spirt as my default but now I prefer clickies. I am not sure if you can still get the bars from Spirt as its been a minute since I last ordered from them and I know they had a few issues with fulfillment.
I find box switches with the click bars at the stiffer end to be a more sharp tactile bump than alps and louder, more tactile than anything under the ambers, which they are about the same as. If thats what you are after they are a decent choice but I prefer clickies as I mentioned. Neither are exactly the same as the alps switches and I prefer the sound of the alps, although they can be scratchy.
