Hi Everyone,

In collaboration with AlphaKeys, we’ve decided to bring back our Halu-halo Switches, but this time with KTT as the manufacturer! All 3 stem colors will be offered this time around! The switches will come mixed together, we won’t be selling the different colors separately. The switches will also come in ice cream pint packaging! You can see what it looks like below!

Why did you make HaloHalo themed switches?
In addition to color coordinating our setup, our choices were also heavily inspired by Halo Halo. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a dessert from the Philippines made of crushed ice, evaporated milk, ube ice cream, sweetened beans, coconut stripes, sago, gulaman (seaweed gelatin), pinipig rice, boiled root crops, fruit slices, and flan). It’s one of our favorite desserts, and we’ve always thought the bright colors contrasted the purple very well. So, we figured it might look nice on some switches as well, but we’ll let you guys be the judge of that.

We also wanted to address the spelling since this was brought up a few time with our JWK Halu-halos. Our switches are spelled Halu-Halo instead of Halo-Halo due to the trademark Input Club has on Halo Switches.

What do the switches look like?
Please note that these colors may look slightly different in person than they do on your computer screen.

Color Matching Photos

More

We’ve included a photo of the sample switches next to actual pantone color chips so you can get a better idea of what the colors look like. For comparison, we’ve also included our JWK Haluhalos (on the far right), and GMK Vaporwave in the background. The purple housing of our KTT Halu-halo is ever so slightly darker than our JWK Halu-halos.

What do these switches taste like?
Although Haluhalo is delicious, we do not recommend eating switches.

Specifications:

How much would it cost?
$0.25 per switch (Sold in packs of 10 for $2.50) + shipping during GB phase. As with most group buys, you can expect the switches to cost more during preorder and extras phases.

How were the original JWK HaluHalo? Wasn't able to participate. Interested in this, GLWIC.

Is this a new 5 pin KTT wing latch mold? Seems like they are 3 pin in the pictures though.

Xyzzyka · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 13 April 2021, 00:42:46 »

Heard good things about other KTT switches and it’s been months since I’ve been able to get my hands on any ube ice cream. Ready for this!

Edit: missed the line about the packaging, love it

I love the regular 3 pin latch style KTTs.

Count me the **** in for this.

We don't have the best recording set-up, but we'll be sending our samples out to some people who do for soundtests to be made. I know Zion Studios plans on making one as well. Although, please note our current samples are 3-pin, and the production run will be 5-pin which may change the sound a bit.

Thank you!

I quite enjoyed the JWK Haluhalo, but that's also because I like JWK switches in general. They're the same as any JWK linear, just a different color.

If you're curious about the color difference, we have a JWK Haluhalo on the far right in the pictures. If you're curious about sound, we'll make sure to have sound-tests available soon. Although, please note the samples are 3-pin, and the final switches will be 5-pin so there may be some variation in sound.

You could also search up some of the KTT Rose (3-pin) sound tests currently floating around. These switches will be using a 5 pin KTT Rose mold so it will be quite similar.

The samples in the picture are 3-pin. The 5-pin mold wasn't completed until a bit after these samples were made. The production run will use the new 5 pin mold. It will be the same mold as our upcoming 5-pin KTT Rose switches.

never tried KTT switches, but that price definitely attracts attention

not personally a fan of the random assortment of switch colors, I would prefer to pick up some of each color, but I get that this is a design choice based on the theme

treeleaf64 · « **Reply #11 on:** Tue, 13 April 2021, 17:04:26 »

Just asking, do ktt have a mold without the wing latch box style housing (like the 4 prong cherry)?

firewire · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 13 April 2021, 21:11:55 »

Probably will grab a set just for the theme! Price point is nice as well! GLWIC

I missed the first Halu Halo GB, but I'll make sure I won't miss this one. Can't wait to feed my keyboard with this matamis (sweet) switches. That container looks great.

Can we get tactiles in the near future?

They do (but it's not available in 5 pin bottom housing)

Musicmonkay · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 17 April 2021, 09:07:06 »

Does this sound different from the JWK version?

would love to get these for themed board!

skullfishy · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 17 April 2021, 19:43:15 »

Wow! I love these! And i'm in love with lineras

Can't wait to buy!

I love linear switches, and I really like the theme you chose for them. I'm def in

they are so un-expensive that a can't say no

Ready to roll.

MisterPooter · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 06 May 2021, 12:29:36 »

Can you give some more detail on how the colors will be mixed in each pack? Is it completely random or will it be 3 of each color and 1 random? If its the former, OOF. If the latter, take my money.

Aeyeon · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 06 May 2021, 18:31:59 »

So the different weights are mixed randomly? We can't choose?

I think I read somewhere that they were going to try to equally have each colour

I think the stem colors don’t represent weights, there’s only one listed.

Then I guess it's time to buy like 300 to get enough of the best colour

Hey there, bought a bunch of these on GB and waiting on em now. Do you recommend filming these? From what I've seen the JWK versions (despite being JWKs) sound pretty good lubed and without films, and KTTs Kailh style switches I'm told don't really need films due to how stable the housings are. What's your recommendation?
