I had some Boba LTs about a year ago and they did not have any ticking or additional noise. I’m sorry to hear you are having issues with them.

As far as Im seeing it's because I've lubed them. Which is absolutely ridiculous considering the price point of the switch. Pay a premium for switches that become garbage when you lube them, epic product.

Yeah mine were lubed and filmed, no issues. Perhaps it’s the newer batch? Where/when does it tick? Just pressing it down or when it tops out? I know JWK has had some leaf ticking issues, but never heard of it with Boba LT

It's most noticable when you tap the keycap on the side facing the LED hole. When pressing anywhere but there it's fine but obviously when you type you end up hitting that spot and it makes the board sound like garbage. It's virtually the exact same sound as when stabs tick, and replicating it requires the exact same amount of pressure. A very light tap makes it extremely noticable.
