Budget alternatives to Gazzew boba u4 silent switches?
« on: Sat, 01 July 2023, 05:05:03 »
Hi, does anyone know of a lower cost alternative to the Gazzew boba u4 silent switches? They seems really expensive compared to the switches being currently released. I want a silent switch with a tactile feedback similar to holy pandas https://19216811.cam/  https://1921681001.id/ .

Outemu silent greys, silent lemons and cream yellows are good from what I've heard, but they may not be as tactile as you would like. People say they're more tactile than browns, but less tactile than u4s.

Silent Cream Yellow are exactly budget U4 Bobas.

Here are some links:

Silent Yellow Jade seems to be an RGB variant [third link.]



Other than Silent Yellow Jade, try to go for the V2 of the Cream Yellow, as it may sound better.

WS Grey silent tactiles might fit the bill. Mine just arrived in the mail so I haven't put them in a build yet, but they do have a nice snappy bump.
