Switch Sound

The Gazzew Bobagum Pink Silent Linear does its job as a silent switch by having a silent bottom out and a silent top out due to its silencing mechanism. Some silent switches have mechanisms that provide a slightly muted sound rather than being silent. The Gazzew Bobagum, with its silicone stem rails, provides an actual silent typing experience. There is no leaf or spring ping, no scratchiness, and no rattling noises that compromise the silent switch. The Gazzew Bobagum is an excellent option for typists looking to have a silent keyboard for the office or even for late night gamers who have a shared space.

Switch Feel

The Gazzew Bobagum Pink Silent Linear feels smooth to type on with no noticeable leaf or spring ping. There is also no scratchiness even on off-centered keypresses. And with its tight housing tolerances, the Gazzew Bobagum has little to no stem wobble, creating a clean typing experience. However, due to the silencing mechanism with the use of silicone on the stem rails, the Gazzew Bobagum may feel mushy to some typists especially after typing on traditional switches that have a solid bottom out.

Things to Note

The Gazzew Bobagum Pink Silent Linear Switch does its job flawlessly as a silent switch. It is exceptionally smooth and silent due to its tight tolerances and high quality materials. However, due to these tight tolerances it is recommended to not use film with the Gazzew Bobagum.
