hey man, first time watcher here, and I just had some constructive criticism for your vids. I think you could make your video more captivating by removing silences in between your talking in post production. I also recommend putting the sections that most people click on the video for (sound test, information, components, etc.), with the more niche categories and sections towards the end (look and feel, typing experience, and other tactiels comparison). Overall I enjoyed your video, but just hoped that the video was a bit more fast-paced.

[@MrLuonATick]

Would Glorious Panda stems work since they're a recreation of Halo Trues?

They should, if they're practically just a clone. I base the stem on pole length and tactility feel. Anything with that feel and length fits well, so measure it!

So it's a holy t1 with a boba top! I feel like the name might be confusing to most, and people might not get that you can sub in any t1 bottom

Yes, somewhat? I'm not sure if T1 and C3 have the same mold even if they were manufactured both by JWK, but I can do some tests. The feel should be the same as the sound. Even if they aren't the same mold, I think the feel and the sound wont differ as much. Let me test and update the description!

[@zhuhang.jasper]

Have some problem trying to build this. My kiwi won't actuate with boba top housing. Even if I use original kiwi T1 stem and gold spring. Any idea? 🤔

[@Magniboards]

It could be because the leaf was moved when you where assembling it. You have to QC the switches enough to see if they are working properly, similar to Zykos.

[@andrew_]

The feel of these are insane, but I'm having issues using the Purple Panda poles instead - they're too long so they stop actuating if the housing moves up or down too much. Going to try a shorter pole and see what happens. All I know is that the leaf on the Kiwi bottoms doesn't like it if the actuation isn't deep enough, and long pole stems stop that from completely happening.

[@AllKnowingTess]

What is that song that u used during the intro b-roll?? Lowkey kinda slaps :D

[@awry22]

Video making me need a drink.

[@claouslive]

Question about this. I tried making the switch just now and the boba u4t tops I have seem to be extremely tight and a tolerance issue is causing it to not close down properly on the bottom housing as the legs flare out a bit and the stem is tight on the top housing. Would this be due to a bad batch of boba's? I was using Lumia stems for this. And I even tried using other stems to see if they had the binding issue. All the stems I used had the same issue: Glorious Panda stems, Dragon Fruit stems, Kiwi stems, SP-Star Haze Purple stems.

[@Magniboards]

Hey buddy, I'm not entirely sure. I havent come across this issue apart from having switch films. You can try dragon fruit bottoms or zeal bottoms just to check if you still have issues. One of the biggest issues would be if you tamper with the leaf. This causes the tactility to lessen and for some reason, won't actuate key presses. But that's just about it.

[@Riktasi]

I've tried making a batch, but settled on just using the U4T stem with its top, and it'll have to be solder-only because the leaf in the Kiwi bottom is not secured down (the kiwi top has tabs that keep the leaf pressed down into the bottom). You'll run into the same problem as Zykos when trying to put them in hotswap PCBs, where the leaf spring gets pushed up and disengages the contact, preventing switch actuation.

[@Magniboards]

@@Riktasi that's correct. They are better on a soldered build, but I've managed to conjure up a good batch with proper QC and is mounted on my revered millmaxed f1-8x. You just need to be very careful in putting them onto the hotswap board. I guess mine had very little issues because the reverse millmaxed build has a wider opening compared to other hotswap configs.

[@claouslive]

@@Magniboards I ended up just making it with the Lumia tops. The Nylon tops give it a nice Thock with the sharper pitch you get with more Clacky switches

[@yashwinkotyala9987]

@magniboards how many pins does the bottom housing have

[@Magniboards]

Hey Yashwin, the Kiwi bottoms have five.

[@spooopy4789]

If this is good, would a combination of Cherry tops and T1 bottoms work as well in terms of sound and tactility?

[@Magniboards]

I dont have cherry tops with me, but for T1 bottom housing, tactility is close, almost the same, but the sound somewhat differs, a bit clackier compared to the kiwi bottoms. Maybe it's just me though, i tried it on 5 bottoms with different stems and tops just to keep it neutral, but the difference is negligible really when you have keycaps on and typing on multiple keys

[@Magniboards]

Hey there! Glad you are enjoying it. I tried with other bottoms like zeal or even Dragonfruits but they seem to feel a bit different. I can't explain it but it seems that there's more scratch? I dont think there should be a bit of a difference using DFs to be honest but maybe my batch wasn't as good? T1s also have a similar feel with Kiwis, you can try that.

[@func0989]

Your filmed U4Ts have a noticeably deeper sound than unfilmed. I haven’t seen this anywhere else; do they actually sound deeper in person? And, if they do, what film did you use?

[@darkbreadful]

Hey Magni, do you mind if you put up a PSA regarding the potential for damaging switch parts? I just went through a whole ordeal myself and had to dig through the comments section to find out other people were having the same issue. It seems like putting the switches into hotswap sockets will press the contact leaf against the top housing, causing it to bend and become linear. Luckily the parts I used were from the faulty batch of Kiwis from TKC.

@@volvobok6644 Hey buddy! WHat you may be hearing is just the pole hitting the bottom housing. It is quite abrupt since the pole is long and the bottom housing has a shallow bottom. It does produce a clicking sound when you press it down. The hollowness of the board takes care of it and when you spring swap, the typical spring pings of lower weighted springs disappear too.

Hey man, i really love the video as well as the sound of the switches so i tried making a batch myself, but it seems some of the switches do not actuate. Im not sure what the issue is, but whenever i dont use a kiwi top, the same issue occurs. Is this because i got a bad batch? I would really appreciate some help.

[@Magniboards]

It's mostly because the leaf of the switch has been moved. Switches that don't actuate will either seem like a linear or isn't as tactile as switches that work. I've done some troubleshooting for a friend and this has been the case.

[@stennn8624]

@@Magniboards oh i see, do you have any idea how to fix it? Im using a hotswap board

[@Magniboards]

It's usually an issue with hotswap boards because the boba tops doesn't hold the leafs in place. But if you did a reverse solder, like what I did with my F1-8x, the sockets are a bit looser compared to kaihl sockets, which can prevent the issues. In your case, if the switch leaves have been moved, the switch itself is already "broken" :( so be extra careful in opening and closing the switches. The best practice I do is connect the board while I put the switches in while on keyboard tester.

@@Magniboards aw what a shame :(. I spent 3+ hrs lubing and filming them and I really loved the sound and feel. I guess I’ll try something else, bu I also want to ask about the boba top.

[@animationcanceling]

@@Magniboards yeah, I already have a pile of halo stems that are leftover from creating holy boalas, and honestly out of all variations I've tried (pretty much tried all the housings that I could think of) it felt like koala bottom housings provided the most pronounced tactility with the halo stems and boba top housing. I really enjoyed the "no pretravel travel, snappy tactility with short travel distance" feel and was curious if there were any stems that could provide more emphasis on the tactility. So the 2 other options I found were lumias and poalas but I wasn't sure if it would be worth it to buy them while I already have so many halo stems :/.

Koalas and kiwis don't differ much with halos or lumias based on my tests recently. Polias have a longer stem, i don't know if you'll like it. It feels more abrupt when bottoming out, but again, not by alot, I like the short travel of lumias and halos as it is.
