i was looking for this video! thanks for making it keep up the good work

both their sound and your video editing skills are fire

you really deserve more subscribers, the quality of your content is great

your editing and video overall are so good

sliding gracefully into my ears

Great review!

Great video old boy!

YES! I love franken-switch videos! Also, if you… maybe have any cheapish frankens, I would love to see them

Just finished making a board full of soft pandas with polia stems. (price per switch for this combo was $0.65 with both switches being on sale) I think I will enjoy these for daily use because they're supposed to be less tactile than normal panda leafs (leaves?) by design. Maybe I haven't come to be enlightened by super tactile switches yet but I like having fingers without soreness from typing. If gazzew boba switches weren't so expensive, I'd definetly buy some for the housing alone.

Video might be old but this is interesting, thanks.

They sound almost the exact same to my ear. I can't tell them apart from the sound alone. The extra tactility might be worth it, but for the added cost it seems like a tough sell over U4Ts.

There is also the alternative of buying Boba Housings only from Gazzew directly (only in USA), and this will actually drive down the costs per switch even lower!

Love the Holy Bobas! I have them built with the halo stems, kailh Polia stems, and glorious panda stems. Haven't tried the polias yet since I'm waiting to mount them in my Scarlet but that's definitely the cheapest way to build these right now. Only issue is that the tight gazzew housing can cause some stems to bind

@@jomimaro1 if it's the invyr holy pandas from drop, those I think are actually different than the Halo clear stems. I haven't tried those personally but I did watch someone stream building holy Bobas with them and they did also encounter a little bit of binding. I think you can remedy this either with a spring swap or just having extra housings to try out. But good luck and hope you enjoy the results!

The real most tactile frankenswitch I've ever used was a blueberry stem in koala housing (or T1). Way too big of a sharp bump to be used on the regular though. But way more tactile than holy boba or even zykos. Not saying it's better because it's a bit uncomfortably tactile to be honest. It sounds decently thocky as well.

Does the top housing have tolerance issues with the halo true stem? I tried making holy bobas and the top housing is too small for a halo true stem to fit which causes the stem to have issues returning.

Did you have any issue with the housings being tight? I did try to make holy bobas but the stem only goes up halfway because the top housing are tight.

Have you tried sojus or zykos?

So dam good

Where’d you get the cable, it look super clean

Just have a question whether i should lube the legs of the stem or not since the bobas are tactile switch

Im running into the issue of the gazzew housing being too tight for the halo stems and therefor the stems get stuck once pressed down. Is there something I need to do to solve this?

How would this perform if instead of the boba spring, we change it to the tecsee two stage spring from the naepolitan?

if you did try both switches, what did you prefere the 4ut 62g or 68g ?

Get to 100k subs. You're amazing.

How are these in comparison to bykos? (holy bobas with zeal tactile bottoms)

hey man I really like those keycaps what are those?

please review some budget tactilesss

did you make your holy boba's using the u4 or the u4t?

Hey, what RNcable are you using?

I would be curios to see a comparison between Holy Bobas and Souju Switches and know your thoughts on them.

thank you for the video, .. amazing work man!.. i have a question though.. not sure if i understood, you said in 0:46 that the housing comes from the Boba U4T and the stem comes from Halo True, but in 2:29 you said that you used the Stems from your holy pandas in order to make your Holy Bobas... does this mean that i could use stems from wither the Halo True or from my Holy pandas? this would indeed save me some money as I already have Holy Pandas! please confirm this is correct. thanks!!!

@nearLucid

I recommended using 3203, as that is more typical for tactiles, but I personally used 205g0 everywhere. There should be no problem with mixing lubes, there's just not really that much of a reason to do it.

How do you properly lube these with 205g0? Thick lube, I'm having trouble keeping the tactility although I'm not even touching the legs

you must damaged the leaf when putting them back together, Gazzew said w his switches you shoud use his methos of lubing. I end up broken like 10 of them while making HolyBoba. And i also can confirm that lubing these don effect the tactility that much, if you r not touching the legs

The new boba housings are now too tight and the halo true stems no longer fit.

@jacobzacher1096

Yeah. I noticed this too. I bought 80 bobas, and more than half of them were too tight to be compatible with the halo stems. Luckily I only needed about 36 for the alphas on my new 50% build. Gonna have to find some other switches to throw under the modifiers though.

i think you should try zykos

What keyboard is that?

tbh it would be a lot better to give switch sound tests in a board that is un PE foam un tape modded because those mods make every board with any switch all sound the same

​@@nearLucid which ones did you use in the vid? and is there a certain success rate of the HB's

In the recent batch, Gazzew increased the tolerance on their U4Ts, making the Halo true stems bind on release issue happens a lot more often. Before you will have maybe 1 out of 4 switches that will bind. But in my recent batch I was making for a friend, out of 90 switches, only 5 was not binding. We had to dremel away some of the housing wall to allow the stems to fully release. So just a heads up for anyone thinking about making some. EDIT: Seems to be more of an issue with the later batches of Halo true stems than U4T housings.

Correct me if I'm wrong. So you're saying for earlier batches, the failure rate is 1/4 and now it's 5/90 = 1/18 so it's significantly lower? I'm new to frankens and looking into making some bykos, are there other issues that might come up?

@@kennethng9653 Seems like you were right in suggesting it was the stems. The old Halo stems were definitely easier to fit. Tested with Halo stems from Drop holy pandas bought last year. Also tested with the Halo stems from the first holy bobas batch I made earlier this year for a coworker. Both of these stems have an easier time fitting in the U4T housings. Putting both new and old batch of Halo stems back to back, there seems to be a slight difference in the width size. Unfortunately, I left my digital caliper at work and cannot give a precise measurement of what the differences were. Maybe you'll have an easier time with kailh polia variation of this stem? Being a linear switch person, I don't have much access to tactile parts, and I don't know anyone who has access these stems to do more testing.

In terms of tactility, Zykos or Holy bobas?

@xKayNee

I think it's very close. Holy Boba is probably more tactile, but the bottoming out 'clack' on the Zykos/Bykos is sooo satisfying that it can make it seem to be more tactile than it actually is. I'm using Bykos myself. Both are incredibly tactile though, far above the others in my opinion.

I'm having a hard time believing anything other than noise is actually changed here. From pictures it seems to me that Boba stems are just one of at least a dozen Halo stem clones with the exact same shape on the tactile bump. Thus swapping the stems would accomplish nothing tactility-wise. Zykos/Bykos make sense because the Zealios stem bump is genuinely subtlely different from Halo-class stems, but the Boba is not.
