I've been using box whites on all my boards since they were initially released. They're my favourite switch by far. They're light, tactile enough to know when they actuate, but not so tactile that it makes repeat presses in gaming annoying. It's also very easy to just clip off the click bar and turn them into box reds without even opening the switch.

Box switches don't get the same recognition they used to, but they're really incredible for the price.

More pics here of the stands :)

Edit: these and the ones that u/rulz-ro posted are basically the IKEA white colour, but depending on preference they're printable in any PLA one wants - or ABS (smoothable by acetone vapour) or resin. Unfortunately I'm still working out the kinks of clear resin, unfortunately I haven't yet produced a satisfactory clear white/frosted one yet albeit plenty of tries, I've yet to pinpoint a good resin and processing process that would yield satisfactory results (still working on it).

I'd love to mess around and see what I can figure out when I get home, I only had around an hour to mess around with these before work and I get off in half an hour. Besides that though I just put in a two day order for some gateron cream sodas in case these don't satisfy me. Not looking forward to lubing an entire additional batch of switches again but oh well I suppose.

I'm doing that! That's a great idea to find people with similar interests - put a sticker of a subreddit on something a lot of people who can talk to you will see. Clothes, on background if youre streaming or making a social media post, on your laptop, car counts as you will often go from driver to pedestrian due to the nature of it.
