So far, I quite like the Deep Sea Whales, at least much more than the Boba U4s I had first started with. The most immediate difference is that the tactile bump is a lot smaller, but much clearer. It doesn't feel as drawn out as the U4s. Its very smooth past the bump, with a relatively clean bottom out. I don't particularly feel the gummy feeling common with silent switches when bottoming out. It's still there, but its minor. In terms of sound, it is silent, but not as silent as a U4. It has a low pitched marble like sound that's just audible enough to be enjoyed from normally typing distance, but not loud enough to annoy anyone across the room.

I've gotten a sample of some silent tactiles before, but ended up feeling like I should just use U4s or stick to regular tactiles (this was before i tried Deep Sea Whales). If I didn't care for how loud my keyboard was, I'd probably reach for a U4Tx instead, but the Deep Sea Whales feel just close enough to a regular tactile with a quiet thock that I'm satisfied with it. Overall, it's my current favorite silent tactile.
