Weird to see almost no sound difference between lubed and unlubed! Probably my favourite review on the Boba U4T now!

It's really nice that you also looked at the key-travel, it's interesting to see all these differences.

This was by far one of the best switch reviews I have seen. Very detailed and very well put together. Thank you.

new to mechanical keyboards, but probably ~1000 vids deep by now: i'm blown away by how good this vid is. comps to switches i was considering, sound tests early on, interesting/useful info abt weights/travel/key height (hadn't even thought about the last one). thanks a lot!!

this is such an awesome video, most people don't even approach this level of detail and controlled comparison

I'm genuinely confused as to why you have so little subscribers. This is really well made. I am subscribed.

Fantastic job here!

What I have noticed from viewing many Boba videos is that stock Bobas are really surprisingly good, like maybe lubing them isn't even that essential from just an acoustic point of view

Ahhh an inverted spacebar. I see you are a man of culture

Amazing review, as usual!! Fantastic job!!

I have 80 of these switches waiting to be put into a new board, thanks for the review. Looks like I won't need to lube them

I think this is a great "in the middle" of a clicky switch and a tactile switch. In my opinion at least, it's not the annoying part that the super clicky high pitched blue switches make, but it is definitely not subtle as a regular brown switch. That's how I see and hear it at least. And I actually think lubing the switches brought out the tactical "nature" (weird way to put it) Anyways, nice review man!

Excellent review. I just picked these up today in the 68g spring. They feel fantastic and I dont think I will be lubing them as I only have Krytox 205 g0. This is my first tactile switch and they do feel fantastic but to be honest I did expect them to have a lower pitch with my Drop MT3 WoB keycaps. I am coming from lubed Tealios V2. However as you said, you really need lubed and filmed black inks in you want the deepest thock. My lubed Tealios sound a little deeper than these and I do have films on the way. However I do really like these Boba switches and with the MT3's it looks and sounds (sort of) like a 1970's IBM terminal keyboard. EDIT: Lightly lubed the rails and donut dipped the bottom spring with 205g0. Made no difference for me in terms of sound or smoothness. These are excellent switches out of the box.

Amazing review. Loved the detailed measurements and specifications. Keep it up.

Mine are coming this week. Im really excited

the sound made me wana drink boba tea

Nice review!

I was looking exactly if it would be a problem with cherry profile and north facing in the boba. Love u.

Nice video

Waiting for my shipment of Boba U4T's. Great vid 🐐

FYI to anyone viewing that didn’t know because I didn’t see that in a comment, but Gazzew recommends against lubing these as the factory lube work is done really well in these, just like the housing tolerances. If you do want to lube them, there is a specific video a couple of people have put out detailing how to do it Gazzew’s recommended way. Personally, I have U4’s and am extremely happy with them stock

The Boba U4 (Silent) was a bit mushy feeling, but I absolutely love the U4T version.

Hi buddy, really nice video, this review was really different from other ones, it really shines! Cool aspects, and details that makes the different, thank you for that. Here in 4:00 is the same tofu build right? how did you get that amount of flex? Just with the o ring mod? Is amazing!

excellent review

I stuck with these as they are good and prevents me from accidental key presses. There are so many switches out there and it's very hard to keep track. For my money these are sublime. I haven't tried the Zealios or the T1s but i'm still pretty happy with the U4Ts that I don't find the urge to swap them out with other switches.

Great and to the point review!

great vid! you should make another for some of the silent switches out there like the u4 boba silents etc.

Incredible review. Thanks!

Glad to know lubing the switch is not necessary as they sound great already. Got a couple of questions, how's the spring ping and leaf crunch on these? Do you think I'll need to lube the springs? And also how would you compare the tactile bump compared to more tactile switches like Moyu Blacks/Zealios/Kiwis? Thanks for spending time looking at the comments and replying to all of them :D

Mr.Krabs chasing plankton be like: 5:58

Finally a new video!

Its incredible how affordable these are considering their seemingly very high quality. Are the springs really factory lubed and what lubing technique could you recommend? And also, where would you recommend picking these up from?

just ordered some from ringer keys, thanks!

boba U4T vs EG dark jade vs Mx Brown vs Holy pandas..which one has better and thocky tactile???

Awesome! I won't be lubing them when mine came xD

Nice review. It’s starting to sway me to get the U4T’s. Just wondering, how are these for gaming? I tend to have long gaming sessions.

I'm sold

solid vid

great video!

I've run into a problem. I entered this hobby with a prebuilt keyboard with mx blues than after hearing about U4Ts, transitioned immediately to U4Ts and I can't seem to find a worthy contender. For instance, I've tried lubed GPs and it just doesn't measure up to U4T standards. It's kind of got me a a point where I don't know what switch to try but I want to get more boards lol. And I certainly don't want to have all boards with U4Ts for the sake of variety. Any worthy contenders out there?

Hey Austin I have a question, I’m thinking about buying these switches from ringerkeys. These switches come in packs of one, so I was wondering if each switch comes individually packaged, are they?

Should I get the 62g or 68g I’m really thinking about getting these for my build I’ve heard so much positivity toward them

Dammn those thock harder than the Pandas. I kind of regret ordering Gorious Pandas just now.

I know this is an old video, but if you had to choose between these switches and Anubis and baby kangaroo, which ones would you go with?

Great video but I think that an unmoded Tofu case is the worst for these sound tests, the original audio profile of the switch is barely noticeable in all the 'clank' coming from the tofu case. With low profile cases OR O-ring modded and foamed tofu case it should show a difference between the lubed and stiock version of the switch.

Does the 3mm travel feel weird? I actually disliked the HP cause of the shorter travel distance when compared to other MX style switches

i used 67g outemu skies v2, this switches looks very good, but im kinda scared about 62g actuation force of this swirch makes me feel weird than my outemu skies v2, anyy opinion about that? anyways, tjankyou nice video

they sound crunchy

2:03 boba no lube 2:29 boba lube

should i get kiwis or bobas? i am looking for a thock like more deeper then more pitch

Could you tell us which is of the 4 switches tested is the most tactile to the least tactile?

i feel the lubed kiwi sounds a bit overlubed. or did i wrong??bcs i never get my hands on kiwi

Holys are still my favorite

Hey man. I'm just starting out onto this hobby by getting the ikki68 Aurora. I've tried my friend's lubed and filmed 67g tangies and stock zealios. I'm thinking about gat black inks v2 or these. A lot have already told me that it's ultimately up to my preference for linear and tactile but I love the way both switches felt. Also I I current have an anne pro 2 with box whites. I honestly can't pick! Maybe I could order a sample of both but idk. Thoughts?

hey how would you compare the tactility compared to maybe a panda, a kiwi and (hear me out) cherry mx brown cuz iv only ever tried mx brown as a tactile and i wana give a shot to tactiles nut im afraid i may get something too tactile since iv only used linears in my main keebs

I got Zealios V2’s 67G. Between the zealios and the boba, which do you think is better?

I’m a huge kiwi fan but these sound awesome

They do sound a bit better than Invyr Holy Pandas. But I don't think I'm gonna rush and switch out my Holy Pandas for them anytime soon. I think I'm good.

Do you have any suggestions for a cheap alternative for the housing? I'm trying to franken switch the boba with an akko ocean blues but the boba switch is just too expensive to fill a keyboard

how about filming them to get deeper sound profile? i am intereseted in them but i dont know if i can get deep sound out of them. my 2 option for upgrading my keychron k4 is either this or gateron black ink. ive boight 1 gat black ink for sample and i really like the deep sound, still waiting for 4 pcs of this switch for testing

I’ve got Boba U4Ts in my keyboard and they feel kinda scratchy to me (if pressed down slowly), does that change after lubing them?

i bought like 90 of these, now im looking for a board to put them on lmfao

Does lubing the switch make the switch more smooth and do u recommend lubing them

AYOOOO THIS SONG IS THE ONE THAT I LISTEN TO ALL THE TIME FANTASY ARCADE LESSS GOOOOOO

Don’t these come slightly lubed from the manufacture?

This is the first time I hear no difference between stock and lubed.

Are the switches in the sound test the 62g or 68g version of the u4t?

Can you put these in your k8 please? I want to buy a k8 and put my u4t’s in them and I kinda want to know how it sound because that’s my endgame keyboard (wireless, very tactile, good sounding hopefully, hotswap, works with Mac and windows, and looks great) I really love your videos bro and it would be nice if you made a video about this, but I completely understand if you don’t

What keycaps are these? I see you have arrow keys on the tofu 60 and im looking for a split right shift key

Hey man, just wondering where you got your cable?

Are they hot swappable in the gk61? The bobas or thr pandas

Whats the difference in fee between the boba and holy panda?

how would the 68g compare to the 62g? also this vs the rgb version?

any clue when these bad boys come back in stock?

it is highly tactile that my fingers getting fatigue XD

Hey guys! Whats the difference between the 62g vs 68g u4t? And which one would you guys recommend?

Is the 62 gram or 68 gram version better?

so, should i lube???

stock and lubes are the same sounds

so its not worth lubing?

Does the PCB work with three pin switches

is it worth to lube the switches?

what kind of tactility do they have?

What mousepad is that?

god forgive me for what im about to do

Great review but not very thocky that I’m hearing

Why would you make a switch review video but not provide any information about how the switch feels? Do you only care about sound?

Did you get the 62g or 68g?

ok

alu plates should be removed as the go to standard for keyboards as they dont give a great sound. FR4 or PC should become the standard.

Average switch, horrible qc
