I feel like I have, but I couldn’t remember - so I pulled out my extras and tried three stems with Bobagums;
- Blueberry Chiffon
- White Lotus
- Bluish White
They all fit! Well - as long as you use the clear-with-slot Gazzew tops with slightly relaxed tolerances. They look like this:

I did test them.
All three function normally, and all three are actually pretty decent! In all cases I used whatever spring was originally paired with the donor stem.

The Blueberry Chiffon stem in the Bobagum housing definitely retains the discrete, almost crunchy feel while thankfully leaving behind virtually all of the ping. Almost feels like a BOX tactile. A bit of N/S wobble, very little E/W.
-
The White Lotus stem feels pretty clean and smooth compared to the last, returning to top more smoothly. It’s also much less ping-y than its donor switch, but also less stable having more wobble in both directions. It still makes the characteristic light-tactile sound - sort of a wiggly noise? Not totally clean but again sounds better than the White Lotus on its own.

I expected the Bluish White stem not to work for some reason, but it totally does. The ones I have are the older flat-bottom ones, with more recently made ones having a rounded bottom to the pole. This means they will be more quiet in the silent switches; not sure how it will affect non-silent ones. There’s a touch of ping here but I really have to listen for it. Bottom-out is pretty soft, with top-out sounding similar to the donor switch. More E/W wobble than N/S.
