Went to clean up my keyboards today only to find some new unfamiliar switches in my old Tofu.
Took one out to inspect and noticed they were my boba U4Ts …
They still work fine and feel fine and I quite like them. It’s like a pumpkin spice latte color.
Wonder if it is due to the brass plate?
gazzew addressed this, this specific version of the boba has been discontinued due to discoloration issues related to eva foam i believe, so now the u4ts that are milky are technically a different mold than the original u4t. although the black u4t is still the same.
edit: found explanation:
Lol shit, that explains what happened to mine. I put them in my Candybar but didn’t finish building because I couldn’t find proper keycaps for that board, so I put that partially built board back into the gold foil box.
Just opened it recently and was shocked; I thought it was the gold box, but this makes so much more sense.
