Watch the "brand rates force at" row: these two makers do not measure at the same place, bottom-out for the Gazzew Boba U4T and actuation for the TTC Bluish White. Force numbers only compare within a row. TTC publishes no bottom-out figure for the TTC Bluish White, so the figure marked "our estimate" is our own derivation from the forces that are published rather than a rating.

Verdict
Both the Gazzew Boba U4T and the TTC Bluish White are tactiles, so this matchup comes down to weight, travel and sound rather than feel. There is a real weight gap too: 62 g against 50 g at bottom-out, so the Gazzew Boba U4T asks noticeably more of your fingers over a long session. TTC publishes no bottom-out figure, so treat that 50 g as our estimate. The TTC Bluish White is the cheaper board to fill by a full bracket, mid priced against premium priced.

Gazzew Boba U4T or TTC Bluish White: the long answer
Take the mechanical side first, since that is where this pair separates. The Gazzew Boba U4T carries the heavier spring at bottom-out, 62 g to 50 g. That is a real 12 g without being a change of bracket. TTC publishes no bottom-out figure, so treat that 50 g as our estimate. Neither the trigger point nor the depth matches: 1.7 mm to actuation on the Gazzew Boba U4T against 2.0 mm, and 3.2 mm of total travel on the Gazzew Boba U4T against 3.5 mm. The stroke itself is shared: both give a finger something to aim at on the way down. Everything else about them is close enough that the spring is the honest tiebreak.
Sound is where most people finally pick a side. Two different voices: the reference thock: deep, full, immediate on the Gazzew Boba U4T, poppy muted tap with a big rounded bump on the TTC Bluish White. Both packs are synthesized rather than recorded, so read the comparison as a faithful sketch of each voice and not as a measurement of it.
On cost and convenience, the Gazzew Boba U4T is premium priced, while the TTC Bluish White is mid priced. Both come factory lubed, so neither needs work out of the box.
