The Kailh Polia is a high-performance tactile mechanical switch from Kailh, specifically designed for users who desire pronounced, tactile feedback – beyond that of conventional linear, tactile, or clicky switches. The housing features a transparent top cap, good light transmission for RGB lighting, and a robust MX footprint – ideal for custom keyboard builds with hot-swapping or permanently soldered inserts.
