Gazzew Boba LT
LinearLinear Thock: the Boba housing without the bump. A deep, muted linear for people who love the U4T's voice but want an uninterrupted downstroke.
Sound & feel
The Boba LT (Linear Thock) answers a simple request: the U4T's celebrated housing acoustics, minus the tactile event. The same proprietary Boba plastic gives its bottom-out a deep, muted character that stands apart from brighter polycarbonate linears. It shares the U4T's long stem pole, so travel stops at about 3.2mm with the pole landing the stroke rather than the housing floor.
Feel-wise it is smooth stock, helped by the same minimal factory lube the rest of the Boba line gets (donut-dipped springs, lightly lubed leaves, dry rails), and the springs come in 55g and 65g bottom-out. It is a switch that rewards a solid, well-dampened board where its low-frequency signature is not fighting case hollowness.
It stays niche mostly because the linear field is crowded with icons like Oil Kings and Alpacas, but Boba loyalists who want a matching linear board consider it an easy pick.
