The GAZZEW Boba U4T is one of the best tactile Switches you can currently get for your mechanical keyboard. It combines a smooth tactile feeling with a deep thocky sound profile. These housings are GAZZEW's new proprietary plastic blend that is softer and smoother than nylon, resulting in an excellent thocky sound profile – keygem. | Gazzew U4Tx Tactile Switches are a thocky version of Gazzew's U4T (U4 standing for "euphoria") switches featuring their signature "D" sound profile. U4Tx feature a mechanism dampening the upstroke and giving a satisfying thock on downstroke which makes them a perfect choice for those looking for a mostly silent switch that still gives a clear feedback – OZO. The all-new Gazzew U4Tx is here! The updated construction of these tactile switches provide a more pronounced bump upon downstroke and a smooth, silent upstroke thanks to the pads on the stem. Virtually wobble-free, the dust-proof stems are using a box design now. A clear top housing for RGB lighting and a new proprietary plastic for its bottom housing completes the look to match your chase for the ultimate thocky experience! – Pantheonkeys. |
