Holy Chickie
A Holy Chickie switch is a a medium stiff, tactile, non-clicky mechanical keyboard switch that is created by replacing the clicky stem in Cherry MX Blue with the tactile stem from a Massdrop×Input.Club Halo True or Clear switch. The final product is a tactile switch that mimics the popular Holy Panda switch.
Note that the spring, housing, and contact leaf of the Cherry MX Blue switch should not be replaced.

Key feel
Switch is smoother than stock Cherry MX Blue, with a very rounded and stronger tactile bump. The bump starts early on and continues with a light bottom out.
Availability
As of June 1st, 2019, the parts required to build the switch are still in production. The Halo switches have to be bought from Drop.
Extra Notes
The Halo True/Clear stems are slightly longer than ordinary Cherry MX switches. A popular mod is to cut off a portion of the bottom of the stem, which could lead to increased key travel.
