Gazzew Bobagum Silent Linear

Manufacturer: Outemu
Brand: Gazzew

_These switches use the same housing mould as the Bobas so you can expect the same tight housing and stem tolerance, both of which are unrivaled compared to other switches on the market.

The Bobagum Silent Linear switch has a smooth, quiet 4mm travel distance thanks to the housing material and the unique stem rails only seen in the Boba switches (thus far), and the silent press can be compared to the likes of Healios and Silent Alpacas. Gazzew has also gone to the effort of designing a new leaf to not only be linear and tactile friendly, but also to reduce leaf ping. The use of high-quality Korean stainless steel springs helps prevent spring ping as well._ - Ashkeebs
