Gazzew Boba Gum or Outemu Silent Peach V2: the long answer
Start with feel, because it settles most switch arguments before sound comes up. At bottom-out the Gazzew Boba Gum is the firmer press, 62 g against 50 g, a difference you notice after a paragraph rather than on the first keystroke. Actuation lands at 2.0 mm on both, but the Outemu Silent Peach V2 bottoms out 0.7 mm sooner, 3.3 mm against 4.0 mm. Gazzew and Outemu are both selling you linears here, so both give you spring resistance and nothing else. Same stroke character, so the spring is the fact to weigh.
What the table cannot tell you is how either one lands in a room. The Gazzew Boba Gum sits at ultra-quiet cushioned patter, barely there; the Outemu Silent Peach V2 answers with soft muted thud, unusually little mush. Both carry factory dampening, so this is a contest between two of the quieter switches you can buy rather than a loud one against a quiet one. The usual caveat applies. Nothing here is a studio recording; both packs are synthesized from published specs, and the players say so.
On the practical side, the Gazzew Boba Gum is premium priced, while the Outemu Silent Peach V2 is mid priced. Both arrive lubed from the factory, which is one project you can skip either way.
The split is simple. Buy the Outemu Silent Peach V2 for how it plays and how it writes: this axis is nearly a tie, and it comes out ahead only once the scoring is added up, and at the keyboard all day, its keystroke stays consistent and comfortable across a full day of writing. Buy the Gazzew Boba Gum if other people have to sit near it, as the pads stop the bottom-out from traveling past your own desk. Before you order either, match the volume trims above and hear them back to back.
