- Gazzew Bobagum aka Boba Pink (55g) vs. Gateron Silent Red (45g)
- Both switches are stock (no extra lube, film, etc.)
Both are mechanical keyboard silent linear switches with a lower spring weight. Are the Bobagums worth the extra cost over the Gateron Silent Reds?
How do they feel? After years of using Reds, I am shocked at how different the Bobagums feel. The Bobagums are significantly smoother, with noticeably less stem wobble. The switch travel distance seems less in the Bobagums. Also, the actuation point feels quicker, with less travel before the switch registers. I haven’t done any measurements to confirm this, but I can certainly feel a difference from the Silent Reds.
In my first few minutes of typing on the Bobagums, I registered a few keys by accident. However, it didn’t take long to get acclimated. The Bobagums (55g) feel a hair lighter than the Gateron Silent Reds (45g) perhaps due to its smoothness. But I like it! Some may prefer a heavier spring weight.
The verdict: if you like silent linear switches with a lower spring weight, Gateron Silent Reds offer a good value. However, the Bobagums come out on top due to an incredibly smooth typing experience.
Note: The Silent Red switches are used with hand-cut foam between the plate and PCB, while the Bobagum switches are used with pre-cut foam. Both foams are similar in density and thickness, but this may have a slight effect on the sound differences.
