The best keyboard tactile thock switch
Customer service was great and responsive. I'm new to mechanical keyboards and this tester helped me answer a lot of questions I had from reading about them. The quality of the tester is good and helped me make a decision on what switch type to get. I have the 9-switch version and got the same switch in different spring weights. You can read about it but it's nothing like actually testing it yourself. Great product that's also fun to play with!
was overall very satisfied with buying the Gazzew Boba Linear Thock RGB switches from Thock King, this was my first time buying hand lubed switches (I've also never lubed my own). I can feel the difference in quality and ease as I type.
These were used on my Zoom75 EE with Cerakey White / Blue Crazed Keycaps!
I would definitely purchase from Thock King again for my mechanical keyboard needs.
Thanks!
Really nice switch with a subtle bump at the start.
I give only 4 stars as the sound is more of a „thud“ kind than a crisp clack, which I prefer. Frequency of the sound is more lower… To me, hitting the bottom feels a bit mushy but not in a bad way - its more like a „not abrupt stop“.
Quality is quite cool, very stable, can’t feel rattling, just feels premium :D
So I added those switches just for a few keys, like arrow/ ctrl/ space… the weird thing is that they behave different depending on the key. Some are almost clicky, some are nicely tactile. I’m already looking for a different switch for my „fast use keys“. When the switches behave almost clicky, that drives me crazy :D
Other than that, the quality of the switches seems quite high, minimal rattling, nice bump. Just not exactly what I’m into ;)
I am baffled at how I ever missed this site. The prices and selection are in my opinion unmatched. Everything was packaged and prepared in a manner that felt so premium. The ability to purchase everything I need in one place and then have each individual item be prepared so professionally pleases me beyond measure. I will definitely be buying again.
These are nice and thick keycaps. I really enjoy how they sound on my Mountain Everest Max keyboard. This is my first set of XDA keycaps and I decided I really like the profile. These feel great under my fingers.
The tactile bump on these is so small I don't really feel it. The package they sent them to me in was labeled linear and I agree with the label. The switches feel great just not tactile. They have a great sound profile. I decided to still use them and love the sound of my Mountain Everest Max with the new toxic keycaps and ktt matcha switches.
Customer service was excellent and the item shipped quickly. I couldn’t be more pleased. It also helped me decide which switches to get for my new keyboard, in addition to being satisfying.
Good vendor, great packaging. Do note with the hand lube service it might take a bit longer but orders arrive within a week and you are taken care of in case there is an error in the order. Overall pleased and will continue to support.
I also love the titanium tools. The metal colored switch puller was out of stock at the time of purchase but the blue is nice.
I had some Baby Kangaroos on my work keyboard, and I finally decided to make my home keyboard match, only this time with Thockking's lubrication service. It really makes a difference! I'm very happy with the Baby Kangaroos, they're just the right amount of tactile for me.
These key caps look great with RGB and came in mostly great condition. The 'T' had a small chip in it though, which I couldn't unsee. I contacted Thock king customer support via Discord and they sent me out a replacement cap at no cost to me. I am very happy with my purchase and am thankful for the quick response and turnaround to fix the issue I had.
I got these for a build at the request of a client who went through a ton of sound tests and typing feels and when he got them in on his board he absolutely loved them. Hadn't ever used anything in the silent world in switches before though I do like lower more muted "thock" type profiles personally these were pretty satisfying. However the only reason I will give these a 4 instead of 5 is that for whatever reason the pins on these seem much weaker/flimsy than the Morandi by them resulting in a good handful of reseating needed.
Going to become a broken record at this point but I will continue to say it as imo these guys provide what I am starting to look to as a standard for what I expect when I pay for hand lube service and turnaround time. Just fantastic. I wish they had a separate rating for the switches and their service should you get that with it.
It’s been a little over a week of daily use, so I can’t speak to their longevity, but so far, so good! Pretty good value. My only negative, and is really only because I have a full-size board, is that there are no caps with mute and volume up/down.
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.
This is the second build I have used these in and it was at the request for a build. I like using them for a pretty nice deep sound when even straight out with the factory lube.
This was an order for 110 hand lubed and filmed and I did get them really quickly and they were nicely lubed and the film really makes sure the housing fits snug however I did receive 90 instead of the 110. When I noticed this I contacted them right away and to my surprise got an email back the same day (a Saturday) and they apologized for the inconvenience and had the additional switches shipped out the same day to get them to me in time for the build to get finished. Just absolute great service and is really nice to see.
Got a bunch of these for stocking stuffers with a bunch of different switches & the fit is practically perfect on every one. No wiggling or chatter, just nice clean clacks! And I love that I can see my switch's lil booty through the base!
RTINGS rated these the best clicky switch and I agree. I like them a lot more than the blue switchs I have used in the past. Put this set in an Epomaker TH 80 Pro and I am loving the sound they make.
The key caps feel great and they let the RGB shine through very well. With the stock key caps on my Keychron keyboard you could hardly tell that the RGB was on during the day. With the shine through keycaps it is obvious that RGB is turned on even during the day. I actually enjoy the RGB lighting on my keyboard now.
Debated whether I would like Box Pinks or Jade's better. These feel more tactile like a nice bubble wrap snap which is very satisfying. I only noticed a slow return on one switch I put in for the spacebar, but after using for a day that went away on its own.
There's nothing wrong with this board specifically, and it came very quickly, but I didn't realize (my own fault) how see through the keyboard was, and with the RGB on it looks cheap ngl. The stabilizers it comes with aren't lubed so it does make that clicky sound. But aside from that, packaged great, nice little keyboard for a beginner.
Really really really really quiet, really nice, and no complaints from me.
The quality of the keycaps themselves: the plastic, the thickness, the fit, feel, and the sound are all really good. Even the spacebars are straight.
However, like most keycaps in this price range the legends on the caps are not perfect. The alpha characters are all really good, but many of the other keys have legends that are off centered. It's not terrible but a few are pretty noticeable. One thing I personally don't like is that the font size of the number row is a bit small, much smaller than the alphas and F-keys.
I would definitely recommend this keycaps set and would buy them again in a heartbeat. The color scheme is awesome too.
