Lemon Lush
- Gazzew U4 white stem
- Gateron Ink Yellow housing
- Thic Thock 68g MP spring, donut-dipped
- Snappy, clean tactile bump
- Cushy-soft bottom-out
- Quiet yet crisp
A balanced alternative to the remarkable Boba U4.
Poppy, negative tactility with a “D-shaped” bump starting right at the top and a soft, bouncy cushion right at the end.
Flavor-text:
I’ve approached frankenswitching with Boba / U4 bits a few times, and while most of the combinations have been interesting or entertaining, they were just as much vexing to me. All of them had bumps that were just too big and wide for my comfort - including the “stock” Boba U4s. The 62g versions in particular emphasize the down-stroke while having a comparatively weak return force, which I’m still getting used to.
I liked how Ink housings retained most of the U4’s strong bump while letting the stem pop back up more easily, but none of the springs really felt quite right - including the TT MP’s, at least at first. Great smooth, poppy balance to the tactile bump - but so crunchy!
Remembering Gazzew’s suggestion, “donut dipping” either end of the spring in [ grease of choice ] was the finishing touch that tied this one together.
Donuts are magic, and so is polytetrafluoroethylene. …say that five times fast…
