Last night:
Making 61 Catweewee Holy Trash Pandas
Halo Clear stems in YOK Trash Panda housings with 52g Catweewee springs
Making 61 Unholy Gazzew Linears
Silent linear Gazzew stems in Halo housings with YOK Panda springs
Today:
It would be more simple to just say “Holy Panda” - but not nearly as fun.
Edit: I bet at least one or two of you saw this coming, but those 52g springs weren’t nearly strong enough for the Holy Pandas to operate properly.
Normally I squirt some gasket maker between two layers of cling film to take up empty space and improve the sound.
Then, as it was drying, I thought, “What the heck am I doing?!” I thought, there has to be a better way like stick on neoprene strips.
Sure enough, I found that exact thing on amazon.
I was inspired by the pad that goes between the plate and PCB on the Cyber Board
I also cut a section of neoprene to go between the case and the PCB
Later some tiny O rings will arrive that I’ll use to act as a buffer between the mounting holes and the pcb.
I buy sheets of foam at michaels and cut them with scissors for more or less the same purpose as your neoprene
I use drawer liner when the neoprene foam is too thick.
Damn, great find! I gotta get my hands on some of that!
How wide is the roll. Better yet, do you have a link to the product that you’d be willing to share?
It’s twice the width I needed so I just snipped it up the middle with scissors. It’s the right thickness though.

Heh. I don’t think I’ll ever stop finding those little guys in random corners of my apartment. I just got proper flush cutters yesterday and up to now have been using nail clippers - so the little bits went flying unpredictably every time.
Been sitting on this for 2 years decided to build it today since all my soldering stuff is at my moms and I’m over here all day today
No pictures yet, but this week I have some Novelkeys Dry switches to lube up, and throw on some Deskeys switch films. Pretty excited for this switch combo; and planning to throw both of them into a nice TKL 
do JWK switches really need films that bad? Kailh seems to have a lock on housing gap with the creams
I’m not terribly bothered by wobble for the most part, and personally I don’t think most switches need films; but I did want to try the new deskeys switch films for the sake of trying them out 
They are quite loose and make a pretty bad rattle on the switch return without films. I haven’t found a JWK made switch yet that didn’t need films.
thats rather dissapointing, is the smoothness so superior to other, tighter housed linears that its a worthy tradeoff? I’ve never tried JWK’s but I have tried creams and vint blacks and understand the joy of a filmed and lubed vintage black
Films…
Halo housings…
Unholy Pandas w/ Halo True progressive (fast curve?) springs bag-lubed with teflon Tri-flow
Edit: these are light to actuate but heavy to bottom-out; something like 52g / 100g. Definitely not my normal fare, though I do think I’m enjoying these springs more with the linear stems vs the Halo ones.
Edit: sound test.
Would you say the monstargear lube station a must have?
