My mom died a few months ago. A lifetime without her does not seen better at all.

Eyyy, I have my pandas & Mito Cyber on a GMMK Pro too! A "work keyboard" is a great way of describing what I'd like. I do enjoy satisfying thocks and all that.. but that really quiet, almost bass-y, slightly muted thock sound... *chef's kiss*. I'll have to research the Drop X and the Boba's some more for sure.

Oh man, thank you for mentioning the sound! I love quieter thocc's personally. I have lubed and filmed my pandas with Krytox 205G0. They're acceptable in terms of volume, but I really like the quieter, more subtle tactile sound.

I used to have these DSA PBT keycaps that made the most amazing sound ever - but I couldn't stand the profile, and it was very frustrating trying to type on it. I haven't been able to find a nice PBT keycap set (that I like), so I've been using the DCX Cyber set from Drop. Much nicer feel, but the sound is still a bit too loud for what I want.

Based on your write up, it sounds like BobaU4's are the answer?

Do you have a particular tactile switch you recommend? I'm currently using Glorious Pandas, but after your scorecards, I'm inclined to try the U4T 62g's. :)

I guess I just want to build another keyboard, ha.
