Gazzew (Boba) U4: housing material (lemmy.world)

Hullo everyone, I’m looking at silent tactile switches and for sure one of the most recommended is the the Gazzew U4. I see that the white “Boba” housing plastic has been changed to a new one with better discoloration resistance. Does anyone have esperience with the new version? Particularly regarding scratchiness, I have a tester with the 62g black “Boba” plastic and I wonder if the 65g new white plastic could have some negative acoustic impact. Not a big deal, but I couldn’t find first hand experiences on the web.

I've used the Gazzew u4ts with the new plastic, and it's basically indistinguishable from the boba version.

You can also get boba u4s in black color so that they don't discolor.

Thanks for your answer, I ordered the black ones as I wanted the 62g spring and the whites only come in 65g. Putting them in tomorrow in place of the Gateron Reds!
