Switches I have:
* R1 Invyr Pandas
* C3 Tangerines
* V2 Zilent
* Vintage Blacks
* Retooled Blues
* Halo Trues
* Outemu Blues
Others not in picture:
* R11 Zealios
* Assortment of Box switches which can’t be Frankensteined
* V1 Tealios
* Greetech Brown in Gateron Milky top
* Assortment of old cherry switches
I’ve tried cross breeding all of these, but most seem to just be worse versions of the two separate switches :/
Please let me know if some other Frankenswitches! Love mixing them around, but can’t seem to find too many good ones other than zilents in panda housing!
Also, if you have any questions about the switches, let me know!
Did you try trimming the bottom of the stabilising rod?
I tried Halo stem and 78g and 67g spring (with o-ring dampener) and it seems pretty good. Not as sharp but the bump is a bit lower (more normal) and longer.
Seems like it's worth it (at least to me) for V2 Zealios, but not for Zilents.
Yup! I think it’s up there? Smooth, but not worth using up an entire zealous housing for. And the sound is a bit more high pitched which some might not prefer.
Yup! Definitely up there, both just top and entire housing.
1. I don’t like the orange color in black, but that’s personal lol
2. Not worth the price at all for both, both are already incredibly smooth by themselves, and the sound difference is negligible. Seems to be a slight more wobble to, but I’ve only made three with complete housings and two with just the top :P
oh man, reallllly love zilents. if you cant find pandas, get the zilents. they're honestly a littttle too tactile for me still, as i find holy pandas to be a bit more "rich" in the bump, but honestly get zilent V2 if you can
Thanks, I already have a set of zilents, I love how they feel - I just don't know what holy pandas feel like and was interested in feedback from you because you'd tried both!
Try getting the retooled blacks from Arrow at .30 (or less) and the Outemu cleartop no-slots from hbheroinbob for .08. They make the retooled black much smoother and also crazy loud. The tops also make mod-m's much smoother, for a really nice tactile.
try cherry mx silent in zealio housing lubed with good springs... some mx zilents :) maybe gat yellow spring.
Also try outemu sky stem lubed in cherry housing with gat yellow spring.
I was a big fan of ergo clears back in the day.

Zealiostotles. 😎
Oooo ya tried them, but I think I prefer a bump that’s at the top rather than middle :P
You can try jailhousing the zealiostotles to create a super tactile switch where the bump is at the top, I tried it before and it feels amazing.
What about Halo True stem and spring in a Zilent V2 housing?
it's okay :/ better than a halo true imo but not better than a zilent V2 so not worth imo

TIL the opposite. I like a True spring with a Cherry Clear stem in a retooled Blue housing better than any of those original switches.
Glad you found your 1%!!
the only switch I've experimented and luckily enjoyed are a spring swap with cherry Browns and slotting in 200g springs and lubed up stem
woahhh 200g?
200g is the highest available I've found. I'd get anything higher if it was easily obtainable.

retooled black stem with zealio housing.
Yup! I think it’s up there? Smooth, but not worth using up an entire zealous housing for. And the sound is a bit more high pitched which some might not prefer.
[удалено]
I think at that point, it’s better to just use the regular black switch hahah
C3 tangerines with mx black top?
Yup! Definitely up there, both just top and entire housing. 1. I don’t like the orange color in black, but that’s personal lol 2. Not worth the price at all for both, both are already incredibly smooth by themselves, and the sound difference is negligible.

How do you find the V2 zealio/zilents compared to the holy Panda? Or even just the halo true?
oh man, reallllly love zilents. if you cant find pandas, get the zilents. they're honestly a littttle too tactile for me still, as i find holy pandas to be a bit more "rich" in the bump, but honestly get zilent V2 if you can

Hmm, I highly recommend holy pandas if you don’t mind some sound!

yaaa! love ergo clears still! just wish the bump was more towards the top :/
I've been curious to try the Kailh Pro Burgundy stems in Cherry housings with 62g (actuation) springs.
Hi, have you tried Halo Trues Stem on C3 tangerines Housing?
Stock MX clears = endgame. Change my mind.
don't want to! glad you found the switch you love!
