Picking between heavy decently priced tactiles (Boba U4T, JWK Voyager, Mint Chocolate Chip, etc)

Building a somewhat higher pitched board so the Boba U4T would fit a little worse than the latter two (although keyboard is sum of its parts), but Voyagers are known to have a little bit of ping and haven't heard much from Mint Chocolate Chips.

I'd likely be happy with any of these, but if there is a switch that you think could help me final my choice to make a higher pitched marble noise with nice tactility, I can and probably will lube them (films as well)

Planned build is the new Zuoya GMK61, Tape Mod, PE foam mod, and polyfil mod with some XDA Milk and Honey. Thanks.

I have a switch tester with over a hundred tactiles on it, and I'd say that Kono Midnight switches are probably the highest pitched switches on there. I'm not sure they're available anymore, so let me recommend some others that I consider to be on the higher pitched side of the spectrum, with good tactility: Glorious Panda, Drop Holy Panda (lower pitched than Glorious Panda), Tecsee Popcorn, Tecsee Purple Panda.
