Soft close center mount drawer slides?
Worth upgrading to center mount drawer slides?
Replacing basic drawer slides with something better.
Looking for a recommendation for replacement drawer slides (size, brand, type) to avoid the rocking back and forth of the drawer.

I’m attempting to refresh my old cabinets, and I really like the idea of soft close drawers. The issue is that all of my drawers are center mount slides, and without extensive modification, it seems like the center rail is the only way I’ll be able to go.
Googling hasn’t really found me anything, but I’m also an idiot. Do they make center rail soft close drawer slides? Is there a “next best” option you guys could recommend? My slides work fine currently, I’d just like them to feel a bit smoother and premium, if that makes any sense. The current ones are pretty crude, so maybe something with ball bearing slides if possible.
Thanks in advance!
Replacing all my 30 year old particle board kitchen drawer boxes with new ones.
While I’m at it, should I consider upgrading to metal center mount drawer slides (Pic 1)? I currently have the wooden center track style (Pic 2). I can’t do left/right undermount glides without some major extra work to the rear of my cabinet (Pic 3).
New drawer boxes will fit either slides and I’ll have to cut a rear notch in the 1/2” reveal no matter what. Worth the upgrade or not?
