Core Advantages: Your Ultimate Premium Tactile Choice
We know you love the satisfying confirmation of tactile switches, but despise harsh resistance and dry scratchiness. The Black Cloud is engineered precisely to strike the perfect harmony between "distinct feedback" and "extreme smoothness."
The Problem: Scratchy Degradation
Standard low-profile switches use mixed plastics. After heavy friction, the factory lube wears off, leaving the keys feeling dry, stiff, and sounding scratchy over time.
The Problem: Mushy & Harsh
Many tactile switches feel either too weak like pressing into mud, or possess a harsh, fatiguing mid-bump that quickly leads to finger strain during long typing sessions.
The Problem: Bulky & Generic
Traditional high-profile mechanical keyboards are clunky and clash with modern minimalist setups. Standard contacts easily oxidize and fail over time.
✨ Kailh Black Cloud Tactile: The ultimate solution offering a 100% self-lubricating POM body, 45gf rounded tactile feedback, and a stealthy minimalist profile.
Say Goodbye to Scratchiness
100% Full-POM Self-Lubricating Marvel
The Solution
Spares no expense in using 100% POM (Polyoxymethylene) material for the stem, top housing, and bottom base, complemented by high-precision factory lubing.
The Benefit
Peak performance right out of the box that never degrades. POM material is highly wear-resistant and naturally self-lubricating. With daily use, it feels like melting butter—getting smoother over time. Bid a permanent farewell to scratchy noises and tedious hand-lubing.
Say Goodbye to Mushy & Harsh Bumps
45gf Golden Actuation & Crisp Tactility
The Solution
Features a rounded stem design that delivers a lightweight 45gf actuation and a distinct 55gf tactile bump, paired with a snappy 1.6mm pre-travel distance.
The Benefit
Every keystroke yields an unmistakably clear confirmation without causing fatigue. It isn't loud like a blue switch, nor is it featureless like a red switch. The rounded tactile bump lets you know exactly when a command triggers, followed by a solid bottom-out. Perfect for long coding or writing sessions with zero hesitation.
Say Goodbye to Bulky Peripherals
Stealth Black Aesthetics & Ultra-Thin
The Solution
Adopts a deep, pure "Black Cloud" minimalist appearance built on the ultra-thin Choc V2 structure, reducing thickness by 40%. It comes equipped with oxidation-resistant Kailh Gold Contacts™.
The Benefit
Easily build your stealthy, premium productivity tool. Perfectly compatible with top-tier ultra-thin boards like Lofree Flow and IQUNIX MG65. Low-key luxury matched with a 50-million keystroke lifespan guarantees enduring quality wherever you travel.

POM (Polyoxymethylene) is highly regarded for its extreme durability and magical "self-lubricating" properties. The Storm Series breaks the mold by using POM not just for the stem, but for the top and bottom housings as well. This means there is virtually no scratchiness during the glide. More importantly, as you use it, a natural "wear-in" layer forms, making the switch feel smoother and softer over time, never degrading.
It provides a highly premium, rounded confirmation feedback. Unlike the harsh resistance of traditional tactile switches, the Black Cloud offers a 55gf tactile bump at the 1.6mm mark. Once your finger crosses this peak, the remaining travel is buttery smooth. This distinct feedback ensures you know exactly when the key is actuated, effectively reducing typos—perfect for heavy typing and programming.
All three switches use the same high-standard 100% Full-POM housing and molds. The difference lies in the feel and appearance: Black Cloud (Black) is a Tactile switch providing crisp, rounded feedback. White Rain (White) is a Linear switch offering a straight downstroke with no resistance. Hide Mountain (Gray) is a Clicky switch, producing a sharp "click" sound upon actuation.
The Black Cloud switch uses the Choc V2 pin specification (3-pin). It can be directly plugged into hot-swap sockets compatible with Choc V2 or Choc V1. It supports many mainstream ultra-thin keyboards on the market, such as the Lofree Flow (Flow84), IQUNIX MG65, HEXGEARS A1, Kzzi I75, etc. Note: It is NOT compatible with standard high-profile Cherry MX PCBs or MX keycaps.
Absolutely not. To ensure optimal feel and sound, the Black Cloud switch is precision-lubricated at the factory on friction points like rails and springs using Kailh's automated equipment. Combined with the self-lubricating nature of the full-POM material, you achieve peak buttery smoothness straight out of the box.
