Reply to comment by stemare in My new girl with Boba U4TX by stemare

That’s super interesting because the original U4T, at least according to switches.MX are super tight housings with minimal wobble. The U4TX even has a dust proof step for even less wobble, advertises as one of the lowest wobble switches.

That’s super strange. And don’t the U4T have a shorter actuation than majority of switches at like 1.3mm actuation and 3.1mm total instead of the common 2mm and 4? I assume the U4TX would be the same, right? Most holy panda variants I know of are 2mm and 4mm to 3.4mm total like the rest.

And the wobble got worse after lubing? I’ve never heard of that, maybe that’s just something that’s flown over my head in the years.

Which holy pandas are you using? There’s lots of variations from different companies.

I’m super intrigued as I was gonna do a build with these but now I’m scratching my head hearing this?

Shouldn’t these be more stable and faster?

I think that the wobble came in after opening the switches, not strictly related to the lubing.

I tested some before opening them and didn't notice any wobble. The other keyboard mounts Drop Holy Panda X and I didn't need to film them at all. They were solid as a rock once closed after lubing.

I admit that I don't know the exact specification of the two, but from a direct typing comparison, I feel a bit faster on the Panda X keyboard
