How its switch registers
Redragon Kala K557 ships with Redragon Blue, rated clicky by this database. The same bump, but a loose jacket snaps against the housing as the leaf moves. A sharp, audible click on the way down. Loud for shared rooms and open mics.
Drawn distances are the norm for this switch family, not a measurement of this keyboard. The animation is the same diagram the app uses.
