I knew SuperVan since early 2017. As a friend, I know he's a keyboard enthusiast and he usually wants to try some new idea to play/make keyboard stuff. Several weeks ago we chatted about the switches. He asked me whether I'm interested in Holy Panda switches. You know, I'm kind of old school(or out of fashion to be honest) on installing switches in my keyboards. Till now I only use Cherry Blue and Clear for my keyboards. I ranted to him about the expensiveness of the Panda switch aftermarket prices. As for Holy Panda switch, IMO it's bloodily wasteful to buy two expensive switches, take out one piece of each to make one switch only and then give rid of the left like rubbish. SuperVan said he planned to give a try to change this, by producing Panda housings and some tactile stems like Halo stems, assembled right in the production line, so that regular users don't have to do this expensive, wasteful mod. The first step of his try would be to produce Panda housings and he already contacted the factory to get some samples.
For the record, I don't know much about Holy Panda switches, or Panda linear switches. Never touch them. This thing is out of my interests and I'm not gonna go bail for everything SuperVan said or did. Actually we didn't agree on everything, for example, I suggested him to use another name rather than "Panda" but he had different ideas on how to make it work commercially. And I don't think it's the best for him to bring it up so early without real product. IMO He didn't manage to carry on the IC thread well because his English is poor, he didn't unfold all info and it's too easy for him to get emotional and take it personal on criticisms. But I do think he is able to book some production line and make some amount of some switches. I'm not sure whether he would succeed in bringing his complete idea of "some tactile Holy Panda made as one switch in factory" into reality in the end, but I don't think he aims to put up a scam.
