  • For my in-office keyboard I have Gazzew Boba U4 silent tactile switches. I’m very happy with them. I saw some advice that said not to lube them, which I gladly took to save myself the effort lol. I’ve been using them at work for 2.5 years now. And my coworker who (politely) complained about my keyboard being too loud before has not complained about this one 🙂

    I use them on a Keychron K-series keyboard that originally came with brown switches. I did also upgrade the stabilizers on this one, my space bar was too loud.

    I will say that I prefer my Keychron Q5 that I have at home. It was more expensive than the K-series, but it has better build quality. I haven’t had to do any mods (the stabilizers it shipped with haven’t bothered me) and I prefer the metal body of the keyboard.


  • Cool! I hadn’t heard that term (chords) before today. Do you have to press both buttons at precisely the same time or is it more forgiving, like CTRL+C, etc?

    I type too many numbers every day to give up my num pad, so I’ve never bothered to research tiny keebs since 98-100% works well for me.

    But aesthetically I do really like the small footprint on your desk!

    I work in QA so my desk is always cluttered with hardware. I already have a separate numpad at work (after going TKL and regretting it lol) so I’ve been considering going much smaller for my next build. I still don’t think I could give up a stand-alone backspace key though 😁
