I’m using Boba U4s at home and enjoying them, but I’m looking to build something new for work and I’m assessing my options.

Durock shrimps are on my radar. I’ve enjoyed Zealios in the past, but it seems like the consensus is that Zilents actually aren’t that Zilent because of up-stroke noise.

Is there anything else I should consider? Also not opposed to some switch mods or franken switches.

    How silent are the U4 (in comparison to eg MX Red?)? Am considering building them into a board for work.

      I would say they should be more quiet than stock MX reds since they have silicone dampeners to mute the up and down strokes. I will say though if you’re coming from reds, be aware that U4s are tactiles with the lightest springs at 62g. You might want to look at the Bobagums for something comparable to reds.
