Comments on Gazzew U4 Black switches
Gazzew has worked in tandem with Outemu to produce perhaps his best switch yet: the U4. Tactile, yet silent, this is an ideal switch for those who like to feel their switches actuate while not being a nuisance to their (or others') ears. What's in a name? U4 is short for Euphoria, which you'll for sure experience on these switches. If you're one to lube your switches - be sure to give these a try unlubed first, as I've been told they feel great fresh from the factory already. Enjoy! – splitkb.com.
