Title: Unholy gsus switch
Post by: TeacherGeek on Wed, 19 June 2019, 05:48:54

I see a lot reviews for holy gsus but not unholy. Anyone got an opinion about them?

the ones i tried were really heavy due to the springs being the halo true springs which arent meant for a normal sized slider

Thanks, I have other switches I can swap the springs for.

Were they smooth to you?

Probably not a lot of interest in linear switches since there are so many good options out there (tealios, gateron ink, retooled cherry black, cream, etc...)  I have the parts but I don't see the need to try to make a switch that's not as good as other linears out there.

Is it the housing or the stem

The stem is okay lubed. The housing is okay lubed, but I still don’t really like the sound as much as other options. It’s not a bad switch, but there are better options out there.  If you’re on a budget and can pick them up really cheap, I guess it would be okay.  Although I would still suggest some trybosis to improve feel and sound

All good. Have to give them a try. Not breaking the bank.

Linear switches good tactile bad

The Panda slider isn't very smooth and is also kind of wobbly. The Halo housing is actually very stable, so that nicely counteracts the wobble. But the Halo housing also isn't that smooth. So you end with a stable but kind of bleh feeling linear. If you swap in a decent spring and use a ton of lube it's kinda okay. But not worth using IMO.

I am just going to say off topic Unholy Gsus is something I would want no part of! Do you like Hell? I am not trying to be a jerk but that is NOT a cool name at all IMO! I mean even if they called it "Evil Satan" at least it would be legit verbiage! Please do not hate on me I do not think it is wrong that I love my Religion! That being said I have never even heard of these!
