我在昨天GMK Laser的开箱文里提到目前凯华Box轴的状况后，发现推文也是有一些苦主，
想一想决定把在Reddit r/mk看到热心网友实测的文章给翻译过来让大家参考。
以下内容的翻译及转贴已经得到原作者的首肯，
也会在本文完成后另行将文章网址提供给原作者。
以下内容由Reddit上面的u/Pleanpo所量测及撰写，由我针对一些重点部分做翻译。

Hello, I am Pleanpo. I have been browsing reddit/discord/geekhack and came
across a few posts/comments claiming that Kailh Box Switches are breaking
keycaps in specific, GMK sets.
原作者u/Pleanpo表示他已经在Reddit、discord及Geekhack等讨论区提出Box轴会导致键
帽的损坏，其中又以GMK出产的键帽灾情最为严重。
About a week ago I decided that I wanted to give Kailh Box switches a try and
ordered the 17 switches tester off of KBDfans to see which one would suite me
the best. After hearing about the controversy surrounding the caps I decided
to test each switches stem thickness individually to see how they compare to
competitors in the market.
在距今约三周 (此文是约在15天前时发布在Reddit上的r/mechanicalkeyboards)，作者决
定向KBDfans(怡科外设)订购了一组17个轴体的试轴器来找出最适合自己的轴体。而当他最
近得知凯华Box轴所导致的灾情时，他决定亲自去量测他手上所拥有轴的轴心厚度。
The tool I used is a 6 In. Steel Digital Caliper made by General which has a
accuracy of ±0.001 in./0.02mm. This was deemed accurate enough to test my
findings based on the results that were found.
作者使用的量测仪器是由General公司所生产的6英吋钢制电子卡尺，而制造商宣称这个仪
器的误差值可以达到正负0.02mm。也因此原作者认为这样的准确度下量测出来的结果应是
具有一定的公信力在。
Below I have created a table of my findings and have included an Imgur album
with photos of all the switches and thicknesses found. The table will follow
the order of the album. All measurements were done in mm with the caliper
being zeroed after each switch.
作者除了做了以下的表格来说明量测结果外，他还另外附上每次量测时所拍的照片
( https://imgur.com/a/A5nPojy )。表格的顺序同照片的顺序，作者表示他在每一次量
完成后会先将卡尺手动归零后再进行下一个轴的测试。
以下便是表格的部分：

These measurements show that the Kailh's Box switch on average is larger than
competitors by .1 mm on the x-axis and y-axis. I would like to point out that
the Kailh Pro switches were not larger than competitors and fit in the
threshold for size. This increase in size can be harmful and possible
damaging to keysets. Finally, I would like to know what Kailh's response to
these findings will be and how they will handle this situation.
从上述的量测结果可以看出凯华Box轴的轴心厚度普遍比其他轴来得厚，不管是横向或纵向
平均起来大约都有着0.1mm的差距，然而原作者也特别强调说凯华的Pro系列轴体与其他厂
牌的产品比起来没有过大的差别。不过以Box轴来说，这样子多出来的厚度极有可能对键帽
造成无法挽回的伤害。最后他也提到他希望凯华能够正式做出个回应，也一并说明他们后
续的应对方式。(译：有兴趣的可以点进网页里看讨论，我记得是本篇我有看到有人转贴凯
华的回复。)
Thank you for reading, if you would like more measurements done on any of the
switches show here or others leave a comments and I will be happy to post
more data (if I have the switch).
EDIT: A discord user of the name mgsickler (Mike from Novelkeys) brought this
file to my attention. It is the product specification for Dark Blue box
switches (navies). In the document it states that for the x-axis 1.32 mm +/-
.02 mm is the intended size and for the y-axis 1.10 mm +/- .02 mm is the
intended size. These numbers do not match up to my findings but I only have
one sample size for navies and it could be an outlier.
后续原作者在discord注意到一篇由mgsickler的人所发表的文章，他的真实身分其实是
Novelkeys的老板Mike。(译者加注：Novelkeys算是近期与凯华合作开发最密切的店家，也
透过凯华开发并贩售了一系列以Box轴结构为基底的轴体在市场上大量贩售。)在这篇文章
里，他表示当时Box Navy在设计时的规格是预计横向部分为1.32 mm +/- 0.02 mm，纵向部
分为1.10 mm +/- 0.02 mm。但原作者表示这个数字与他所量测出的结果有所落差，但
因为他手边也只有一个Box Navy，所以他也不方便下太过肯定的判断。
