I don’t think they’re any different from Haworthia. Just get a cat whisker or a bristle from a paint brush and dip it into one flower then move to the next flower.

Timing is much more important.
Basic flower structure is the same as haworthia, but results are usually much less.
Tips I have read are all to do with timing the female flower. Wait for the tips of the petals to go a little yellow. Also the stigma should turn somewhat translucent (normally mostly opaque). Just before nectar makes a mess of everything.
Transfer pollen via whatever method you wish.
Ambient temperatures and humidity are apparently also a bit more important. But I don’t have specifics of what you need to aim for 😅 I just work on plants as they flower, can’t really change ambient temps when outside. I usually have very low rates of success with hardleaf, but it’s worth it when it works!
