Gazzew Boba Gum

Linear Silent

Gazzew's silent linear: the Boba housing with dampened travel and light springs. One of the quietest, softest-landing linears you can put in a board.

Sound & feel

The Boba Gum applies Gazzew's silencing approach to a linear slider, producing an ultra-quiet switch with a soft, cushioned landing. Springs come in 52g, 62g and 68g bottom-out, with the 52g leaning hardest into the featherbed character.

Against the benchmark Silent Alpacas, Gums trade a bit of firmness for even less noise. The dampening is generous, and the sound that remains is a faint patter rather than a click or clack. As with all Bobas, they arrive only lightly lubed and still feel smooth stock.

Ideal for shared bedrooms, quiet offices, and recording desks where even a silent tactile's residual knock would register. Typists who dislike any softness at the end of travel should audition them first.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gazzew Boba Gum sound like?

ultra-quiet cushioned patter, barely there. Use the player on this page to hear simulated press and release sounds derived from its real specifications, and as a silent switch it is one of the quieter options you can buy.

Is the Gazzew Boba Gum good for gaming or typing?

As a linear switch with 62g bottom-out force and 2mm pre-travel, it suits fast, repeated presses, which is why linears are a common gaming pick. It types perfectly well too if you like a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke.

How heavy is the Gazzew Boba Gum?

62g bottom-out. Note that Gazzew officially rates bottom-out force. Brands differ, so check the basis when comparing switches.
