Gazzew Boba Black U4T Thocky Tactile Switch
With the U4 switches being universally loved, some of you wondered: what if the silent tactile switch wasn't silent? The U4 Thocky is the result: with a modified stem, these switches will provide a more familiar audible feedback, similar to other tactile switches. This switch is an all-black recolor of the U4T switch.
What's in a name? U4 is short for Euphoria, which you'll for sure experience on these switches. If you're one to lube your switches - be sure to give these a try unlubed first, as I've been told they feel great fresh from the factory already. Enjoy!
There are two versions available. Version 2 used a slightly different mold, with a circular cutout for a per-key LED instead of a rectangular slot like the one shown in the product pictures. For most uses, it does not matter which of the two you choose: they are equivalent.
