Gazzew Boba U4T Tactile Switches (18-pack)
Gazzew Boba U4T Tactile Switches (18-pack)
The Boba U4T is the switch behind the "thock" meme: Gazzew's long-pole tactile with a strong, rounded bump and a deep, marbly bottom-out sound that made it a community legend. Factory-assembled with a light lube on the spring base and leaf, it is sold here in an 18-pack so you can hear what the fuss is about before buying a full set.

Frequently asked questions
What does "thocky" actually mean?
A deep, soft, marbly bottom-out sound — the opposite of high-pitched clack. The U4T's long-pole stem is what produces it.
U4 vs U4T — what is the difference?
The U4 is Gazzew's silent tactile; the U4T is the non-silent version tuned for maximum thock.
Do they need lube or films?
They come lightly lubed and Gazzew housings fit tightly, so most people run them stock.
How many packs for a full board?
About 4 packs covers a 65% (68 switches); 5 packs covers a TKL (87 switches).
