Just ordered the Boba U4! I appreciate every single one of your reviews. My farvourite switches so far: 1. Cherry MX Clear (hand-lubed), 2. Akko Penguin.
ive been wating for you to review these, tysm!!!!
Dude just wanted to say; great audio! Your voice was clear and crisp and wasn't annoying with any mouth sounds or anything like that. First thing I noticed about this very well made vid! cheers!
I would be really interested to see what you think of the Haimu Whisper tactile silent switches in comparison to these. They don't use rubber legs on the stems, opting for a more unconventional method of reducing volume. From what I hear, they feel more like a traditional switch, just much quieter.
If I could suggest another silent tactile to review, i’ve been very interested in more reviews of the Durock Shrimps since it’s always been described as a “silent T1”.
Thank you for this comment! After seeing this I gave them a plunge and OMFG!!! I think I've found my forever switch. Shrimps are like heaven for my fingers and should definitely be reviewed on this channel. I already ordered a another set for my second workstation, thanks again!
I've been looking at those... they're definitely one of the best "silent" tactile switches. They have a whopping 35g difference between the peak and valley, which makes them very tactile, but with a peak of 70g, they're a bit firm. And it kind of sticks on the upstroke, with a return valley of just 15g, so it takes extra work to lift the fingers afterward. As far as I can tell, the Boba U4 is more like a "silent T1" than the Shrimp is, since its response curve is much closer to the T1.
Hi did you have any issues with the spacebar for the shrimps? I saw in keebworks' review his spacebar got stuck because of the spring in the shrimp T1s :(@@MrDazmo
I am starting to really like the sound of damped switches. I love my SGI granite with white damped alps and those switches are awesome. I wonder if the mx world silent switches will be good as well given how I am familiar with the sharp tactility of alps
Would you pick these, TTC Blueish-White or Box brown silents?
must bring us outemu silent gray!
Please review Outemu Peach and Lime
Hey, ik this isn't related to this video, however, I am stuck between buying the Akko lavender blues and the Akko jelly blacks. I have watched both of your reviews on them, any recommendations?
I haven’t reviewed Akko Blues, I think you meant the lavender purples. But both are great switches, although keep in mind that the purples are tactile and the blacks are linears, so they aren’t directly comparable.
@@KeebWorks yeah my bad i meant lavender purples, ty for the response
@@KeebWorks as a switch even though not comparable, which one do you like more?
The Lavender Purple. I like my tactiles more than my linears :)
@@KeebWorks ty bro
Serious question: Does the boba U4 actually has zero pre travel? I bought some zlient v2 switches which I believe is similar to boba U4. I heard that zilent V2s don't have any pre-travel but when I put them on they actually do have a very tiny bit! That really bothers me and I considering switching to boba. Can anyone who tried both can inform me plz?
I can confirm there is no pre-travel on the U4.
I’ve yet to try the Zilent V2s, but it would make sense that they have a little bit of pre-travel since the regular Zealio switch have pre-travel too.
almost zero you can feel a little pretravel like 1/10 mm
hafe them love them use them the most what else i hafe?
HolyPandas and Yellow Gaterons V2Pro
sorry for bad english but i need your help ❤️:
i'm going to buy a new keyboard tomorrow "gamakay mk68" and i'm confused about what switch should i choose between gateron optical silver switches and optical red switches , i'm afraid to choose the silver switch because it may be too light for me , which leads to missclick while gaming (fps games like valorant,apex,csgo ..) and typing (programming)
banggood doesn't offer red switches to black keyboard and i want the black version
do they fit in an outemu socket
Did you lubed the switches or these switches are stock ?
These are stock.
Shame about the tactile event at the top. I suggest the mushiness would not be noticeable if the tactile event was lower, synced to the switch event instead of being divorced from it. That is how you get a traditional switch feel.
First idk why i am here i already got my keybored btw i have outemue red switches
Why
Get Akko switches down the line they work on outemu sockets.
@@leehongjin6884 yeah ik that but they not available in my country maybe when they available i will definately grab them
Nice review. 7/10 for a silent switch that is silent because you don't like silent switches, huh?
In the sound category, I was making a comparison of how I'm not a fan of how most silent switches sound compared to other (unsilienced) switches.
As with all things in this hobby, personal preferences play a huge part. The score I give shouldn't really be the main focus if anything.
These are still great switches, mind you. It's one of the best silent tactile switches around.
