Kailh's latest innovation in low-profile mechanical keyboard switches, the "Wind and Rain Series" , has arrived. This series features a significant upgrade to the switch stem design, incorporating a hot-swappable socket for easy customization. The switch housings are crafted entirely from high-quality POM material, delivering a smooth, stable, and low-friction typing experience.
The " Wind and Rain Series " series offers three distinct switch options, each catering to a specific user preference:
Three Distinctive Switch Options
White Rain Switch: This switch offers a buttery smooth feel, similar to cutting through warm butter. The stem is generously lubricated, providing slight resistance throughout its travel, making it nearly indistinguishable from traditional mechanical switches.
Black Cloud Switch: Featuring a tactile bump right at the beginning of the key press, followed by a short linear travel, this switch delivers an exceptional tactile experience.
Hide mountain switches: Known for its loud and clear sound, this switch provides an audible confirmation with every keystroke.

Totally stunning switches! | was blown away by the addictive clicky experience...
The mix of sharp clicks with the deeper POM sound on the Flow gasket board is really interesting.
love the sound & feel; tactility is subtle but present. The clacky-thocky feedback of the stem is fantastic_
never thought | would love a low-profile clicky switch this much—amazing!

These switches are part of the Kailh Elements Series, and they are all made of POM.
These Black Cloud switches are very smooth with a creamy touch & a nice deep sound for a low-profile switch.
They really feel more premium than the regular low-profile switches that you can find in budget keyboards.
The tactility is delicious, not too strong, with a great rounded bump.
really enjoyed these switches!

Extremely smooth and linear, with almost no friction!
Weight is great—neither too light nor too heavy.
Great sound for low-profile switches!
The POM material really does a great job here.
Kailh really makes great-sounding low-profile switches; these are truly wonderful.
