    If you ever have the chance, I’d love to see this compared to the purple cream pro v3 or the lavender. they seem like lighter versions of these switches? I also am curious about baby kangooroos and bobas

    Hi ameliabuns,

    Wonderful suggestions—thanks!

    Just for context, we’re currently working on coverage plans to test and add more switches to our database later this year. I’ve added both the Akko V3 Creamy Purple Pro and the Gateron Baby Kangaroo 2.0 switches to the list of those under consideration.

    We’ve already reviewed the Gazzew Boba U4Ts, but were you maybe looking for a comparison with the U4 V2 silents as well? I’ve added those to the list, too!
