From top to bottom:

  • Monsgeek M1 - Boba U4T switches with 67g springs - Gentleman XDA V2 Keycaps = This is the Daily
  • TM680 - MMD Holy Panda switches - Pudding Keycaps = This is for work
  • Tester68 - Gateron Milky Yellow Switches - Honey Milk keycaps = This is now my partners keyboard (Although its just been placed on her desk, we will have to see if its gets used)

All of these have been lubed, tape modded, the TM680 and Tester68 have wheel weights and case foam to make the keyboard heavier and feel less hollow.----

Nice collection! How do the Boba’s and Holy Panda’s compare?

[–] BlovedMadman 1 points 1 year ago

They are different, however, only subtlety, down to the plastics they are made from, both hyper tactile with no pre travel. The MMD HPs were like 17GBP for 110 switches. so they are well worth picking up even just to try them out) I had to get 30 more bobas as i went from a 65% to a 75% and the 30 cost me 25GBP... and then I needed to get new springs as the new Bobas come in 65g and then I needed to replace all the springs as the old 68g springs are slightly different to the new 68g springs you can buy) in total I have spent about 80GBP on boba switches (around 90 switches)

Cost wise, get the MMD HPs, but for quality, get the bobas.
