Gazzew

Gazzew is a designer rather than a factory — the switches are manufactured to his specification and sold under the Boba name, and they occupy a specific niche that little else on this site addresses.

Four switches, and the reason people seek them out is the silent tactile line. Boba U4 is the reference point for a silent switch with a real, sharp bump rather than a muted one, which is a combination most manufacturers do not attempt. Prices run $0.99 to $1.08 — roughly four times the Gateron median — and only two of the four ship lubed. This is a small, deliberate catalogue; if you want silence without losing the tactile event, it is the shelf to start from.
