Holy Panda Mechanical Keyboard Switch, 3Pin Pre Lubed, 67g Extended Spring, Enhance Tactile Plate Mounted MX Switch(100 Pack)

i got 100 holy panda switches, in spite of being skeptical. i generally buy glorious holy pandas, but i was just building a spare spare spare keyboard (i have a problem) so i figured i'd roll the dice. i am not disappointed. the actuation isn't as crisp as glorious pandas, but they still feel great. i think i'll be buying these for future builds that would be daily drivers.there were a few bent pins, pretty expected considering that come in a large plastic cylinder. nothing a needlenose pliers can't fix. i think there were three switches i couldn't fix, that's a win in my opinion. i think i after promotion i paid $38 for 100 switches and ended up with 97 usable switches. you really cannot beat that value.i notice a lot of reviewers are upset about receiving bent pins, it's just part of the hobby. even super high quality switches like glorious come with bent pins. it is unavoidable.i have been using this build constantly since i got them, and they've stood up to the abuse i put them through so far, which is a lot. i am the type to hammer on my keyboard. i think i had to replace one switch, which is typical. even with glorious pandas i've have to replace dead switches.for the price, i think even switch snobs like myself can take a chance on these and be quite happy. would absolutely recommend. plus the cylinder they came in make a great case for paintbrushes if you're also a miniature painter :^)

I was very excited to build my keyboard, (Note that my keyboard is hot swappable and 3 pin compatible) and when I received my switches, I could not contain my excitement and just started building the keyboard, but as soon as I put in the first switch something seemed off, the switch would not go into the slot of the keyboard like any other keyboard switch that I have had, and when I pushed it in a little bit harder, the metal pins broke. I also ordered 100 switches, but I counted them out and I only received 94. Very crappy switches, would not recommend for anyone to purchase.

BUY EM!First, I fully recognize that this may not be entirely the seller's fault, but their packaging definitely played a part. The switches are loose in a plastic tube stuffed into a thin cardboard box. The box was smashed on one end, clearly not having been appropriately handled by Amazon Logistics. As a result, six of the switches had bent pins and were unusable.The Good: I've typed on a friend's keyboard with real Drop Holy Panda switches, and these are VERY close. Not exact, but definitely close enough to be worth paying half as much. Regardless of the comparison to the "real thing," these are a joy to type on. They have a longer stem which gives them a shorter travel distance than my K4's stock Gateron G Browns, and this means I can type a lot faster. The "Thocc" sound is there, even with my unmodded K4 being without any dampening foam. My custom keycaps illuminate well enough, though they definitely aren't as bright as with the Gaterons. That's to be expected, though, and would be the case with "real" Holy Panda's because of the opaque switch housing, so no loss there.**UPDATE 10/13/2022** I've now tried all of the knockoff brands and the official Holy Pandas from DROP. These ROZELLA ones are by far my favorite and actually have a better design than most others. The Glorious Pandas, LTC Pandas, and the Fekker Pandas all have a loud "twang" when the key returns. After taking all the switches apart and swapping springs and stems across them all, I discovered the issue is the springs. The ROZELLA and DROP switches have a dual-spring design where two springs are combined into one. This relieves some of the tension in the spring and prevents the loud "twang" sound that can be quite distracting when typing. There is a slight quality difference between the DROP and the ROZELLAS, like cheaper feeling plastic and the weight of the entire switch, but overall performance feels close enough to one another I can never justify paying full price for the DROPs when the ROZELLAS are a readily available for less than half the cost. Hands down, the ROZELLAS are a great deal. They're so close to the quality of the DROP official Holy Pandas that they render the real ones obsolete at the much higher price.The Bad: One reviewer said these are slightly too big, and that is definitely the case. I think its a fraction of a millimeter, but it makes a difference when slotting them in and out of the plate. They're a much tighter fit than the Gateron G Brown switches that came with my K4. This also means they are going to be a struggle to remove if I decide to swap them again.Aside from the shipping and bent pin issues, I'm fairly happy with this purchase and thoroughly enjoy using these switches. Are they "Holy Pandas" comparable to those from Drop? Not exactly. But, as I said earlier, at half the price of the real thing, these are a pretty good purchase and well worth it.Just know that they are a risk due to the packaging chosen by the seller and the usual brutality of Amazon drivers. Expect bent pins on at least a few of your switches. If you have anything less than a 96% keyboard, the 110pc should serve you well, but if you're using anything comparable to the Keychron K4 that I am, I'd order another, smaller pack or give yourself some time to deal with the return and replacement process.

Holy Panda mechanical keyboard keycaps are highly regarded among typing enthusiasts and gamers for their exceptional build quality and tactile feedback. These keycaps are known for their unique feel, combining the smoothness of linear switches with a satisfying tactile bump, providing a responsive and enjoyable typing experience. They were very easy to install in my keyboard. I will be buying more from this seller.

After getting these switches installed in my RK68, these switches are very ok. They sound good but they don't really do anything too great. The biggest thing with these switches is that they are REALLY scratchy. All of the switches that I installed 20 of them were unusable due to how scratchy they were. I have a feeling that you can get the scratchiness to go down by lubing them but stock they're all right. Maybe if I was using different keycaps it would be a different story but I don't even thing that different keycaps would help. I will say that the one things these switches do great is the tactile bump. They provide nice feedback When typing and have nice noticeable bumb when pressing. I would say that if you have to purchase Holy panda clones, definitely look into getting the ones that are made by Feker. I have heard great things about those and they will probably sound better too. I know I could have easily bought the ones by Feker but I wanted to give these a shot to see how they sound as you get more for your Dollar. I've also used Akko lavender Purples which sound much better and have better tactile bump For how much you pay for these, two boxes of those will be good.

I purchased a few of these packs and the sound it produces is exceptional
