Gazzew Boba U4Tx Half Thock Tactile Switches
Description
Not sure if you want your next set of switches to be silent or thocky? The U4Tx by Gazzew has got you covered with their unique half thock switches that uses the long pole stem from the U4 silent switch and the same tactile bump as the legendary Boba U4T's. This interesting combination allows for a silent upstroke while providing a satisfying thock as the stem tops out on release. The bottom housing is made from Gazzews proprietary blend known as Boba Plastic with RGB clear top and the classic boba color box stem.

Customer Reviews
These switches offer a nice tactile bump at the start of the stroke and are very smooth. I like that the resistance after the bump doesn't drop as much as many tactile switches. The sound is quite mellow since it is silent on the return stroke. Overall, one of my favorite switches as well as one of the most unique sounding.
These are simply fantastic. They’re quieter than the Baby Kangaroo switches that were my prior favorite, and are a sheer pleasure to use. I also tried the silent version that had numerous favorable reviews, but they just didn’t click with me (no pun intended.)
