Yeah I was honestly shocked when I went through all the trouble of lubing them and then not noticing that much of a difference. Wow that's high praise! Thanks!
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!!
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
I agree. For the amount of work required to lube switches, the payout isn't as much as you would get from other switches. Prob the only switch I can recommend stock
@@AustinV Can testify that lubing my Boba U4 made a minimal difference over stock. Takes a minute amount of scratchiness away, but nothing you'd notice outside of a dead silent room.
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.
Hello. Replying to an old comment here but I was planning to get these switches along with some drop mt3's as well. Any regrets/things you would do differently after 10 months? Thanks! Also, isn't krytox 205G0 suggested for these switches or no?
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!
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
I would say lubing the springs isn't as necessary on these switches. Since they come donut dipped already, there's a strong chance you won't hear any ping from them. Significantly less leaf crunch/ping than lubed zealios and about the same as lubed kiwis. Haven't used moyu blacks before. Yeah bump is pretty strong. Bigger than all of the above I would say. It's so strong I would almost say it's snappy
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?
Yeah they're factory lubed. Not really sure what you mean by lubing technique. Just lube them how you would normally lube a switch. Pretty much every vendor is sold out atm. Just order from whoever has them in stock lol. They post on r/mechmarket whenever they come in normally
Hmm I have all of those except for dark jades. May have to cop some in the future But obv mx browns are the most tactile ;) Jk I think bobas are the most tactile for the rest. They're so tactile it almost feels snappy if you know what I mean. Sounds thockier than HPs too imo
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?
@@Chaosrayne Thanks, I got whole bunch of Kailh box switches including navy, but the navy are too heavy for me. I tried pale blues and they are amazing but I've come to dislike the clicky sounds at high wpm and also quite heavy. I think box whites might be the closest to my preference.
No not to me. I actually prefer the shorter travel distance of the bobas. If you don't like that then these switches may not be for you since this is even less travel than the HP
I think kiwis just take lube very well and sound extra thocky when lubed and filmed. Check out Brandon Taylor's video on the dragon fruits and you can hear how much of a difference there is between kiwis and dragon fruits
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
These are easily the most tactile switches I've used, including other switches that have 67g springs. So you shouldn't have any issues. But if you are concerned, just get the 68g variants
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?
I definitely agree that it's up to your preference esp since linears and tactiles are such a different experience. If you're used to box whites you might find tactiles more your taste since linears can have more accidental presses if you're not used to them. However, since you have the ikki68 I'm assuming you got the hotswap version, so you could just get both switches and swap them out whenever you're in the mood
@@AustinV I don't really see a difference with my fatigue of typing so I think I might just end up for the 68. I wanna thank you for your input and video, both were extremely helpful!
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
So the housings are so tight on these that if you add film, it actually makes it worse. Same thing that happens for NK Creams and newer Holy Pandas. When it comes to deep sound, you'd be hard pressed to find something tactile that has a deeper sound than a gat black ink that's filmed and lubed
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
From my personal experience, the bobas are the most tactile. The bump is large and also very sharp at the same time if that makes sense. The kiwis aren't as sharp but still have a large bump. Compared to the other 2, I think the HP actually has the smallest bump, but it's all relative. If you've only ever used browns, it's going to be a big shock I think. Browns have very light springs and a negligible bump. You may find your fingers getting sore pretty quick. If you're afraid of these switches being "too tactile" maybe try out an ergo clear or something similar like the dragonfruits or naevies
@@AustinV yeah if its that small im just gonna keep them stock

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.
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
FWIW, the hollowness of the K2 on my bobas was bad enough that I put them in ny mill-maxed Anne Pro 2 instead. If you’re looking for possible endgame sound, check out the ikki68 aurora GB which is gasket mount and various plate options!
same heree i just got it around a week or 2 ago and it's great! ive been using the 68 switches, which at first is a little too heavy, but ive gotten used to them and love it. but I think most people will prefer the 62g. havent tried it thogh.
I have a video on the durock (jwk) silent linears: ua-cam.com/video/o4jwp8COTi0/v-deo.html But I do plan on getting the silent bobas sometime in the future. Will prob make a video on them if I get
custom keyboards aren't very good for gaming at all, due to all keyboards that use VIA have a 100-200 hz polling rate, making them terrible for gaming. If you're gaming, just buy an apex pro.
I definitely prefer these over the zealios. I prefer the snappier tactile bump of the bobas and more importantly, the zealios have a lot of leaf sounds and the bobas have practically none
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?
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.
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
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.
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
There's no difference other than how much pressure is required to actuate. There's really no "better" option. If I may ask, what switches do you use currently, and do you wish it was heavier or lighter?
@@user-kz9rz8ui1c I have a similar question, but I'm coming from a Thinkpad and no experience of a mech board. So I ordered Glorious Pandas, but worried 67g is too much. Trying to cancel and order these in 62g.
@@IanTompsett I went from 50g switches to 68g Boba U4Ts, and for tactiles at least, the large jump wasn't a big deal. However, I always typed really heavily, so that might be it.
Weird to see almost no sound difference between lubed and unlubed! Probably my favourite review on the Boba U4T now!
Yeah I was honestly shocked when I went through all the trouble of lubing them and then not noticing that much of a difference.
Wow that's high praise! Thanks!
@@AustinV which parts did you lube? I only have 205g0 and am wondering if that's too thick
@@sparklingjuice02 I lubed the rails and around the bottom post of the bottom housing and the entirety of the stem, legs included
@@IamZeidy I’m just gonna say rn. There is no 105g0. It’s just krytox gpl 105. No grade rating as that is for greases only
So true i use unlubed one and the sound pretty same for me owo
It's really nice that you also looked at the key-travel, it's interesting to see all these differences.
Yeah I thought it was worth mentioning! Glad you appreciated it!
This was by far one of the best switch reviews I have seen. Very detailed and very well put together. Thank you.
Thanks so much!

@@user-kz9rz8ui1c I have a similar question, but I'm coming from a Thinkpad and no experience of a mech board. So I ordered Glorious Pandas, but worried 67g is too much. Trying to cancel and order these in 62g.
@@IanTompsett I went from 50g switches to 68g Boba U4Ts, and for tactiles at least, the large jump wasn't a big deal. However, I always typed really heavily, so that might be it.
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.
AYOOOO THIS SONG IS THE ONE THAT I LISTEN TO ALL THE TIME FANTASY ARCADE LESSS GOOOOOO
