Panda Lubed Tactile Switches (36 Pack)

Ive been using MX Cherry (and clones) for years. Ive gotten incredibly used to those switches and bought these hoping to step up. Overall, I think these are great. They're quieter than the blues I'm used to which is a little bit of a downer. The feel of these is pretty nice and typing on them is satisfying. They're a little stiffer in my opinion throughout the press but they feel smooth overall. Ive only got 2 real complaints with these switches: #1. The price. Either you think these are a fair price or not. They're pricey but are of quality. #2. Packaging. Honestly, for the absolute premium that's being charged for these I expected the packaging on these to be premium as well. Instead, you get the old "bag of switches" delivery method. This ended up causing some bent pins and in the instance of 1 switch, causing one to not function. With that out of the way, these are a premium switch. They feel nice, they look great for RGB builds, and for my build they were easy to install (except for some minor damage). Hopefully the packaging gets better so that these switches don't get banged up in transit.

This review is for the lubed Glorious Panda tactile switch. I replaced the Cherry MX Brown switches in my Ducky One 3 SF, and I could not be happier. Installation was a breeze. There were 3 switches with damaged pins, but I had more than enough for my 65% board. This keyboard has north-facing LEDs, so they are a little dimmer than stock, but I'm good with that, as the typing experience more than makes up for it. Getting to the typing experience, I would put these up there with the Zealio V2 67g switches at roughly the same price, but you can buy these lubed. I would have lubed them myself, but the price difference wasn't worth my time to take the switches apart, lube, re-assemble, and then finally install. The tactile bump is noticeable and pleasant. The switches themselves are quiet, even compared to the Cherry MX Browns that came installed from the factory. It almost feels like typing on bubble wrap, it's super satisfying. Shortly after installing the switches, I took a monkeytype.com test and hit new high scores on the 30-second and 100-word tests. I look forward to what these will be like once I get used to them/they get through their break-in period. To say it's like a completely new keyboard would be overstating the obvious as it technically is a new board at this point. Everything taken into consideration, I will be buying more of these for my other keyboards.

They sound and feel great! For many years I have always been a clicky switch guy, I wanted to hear that audible click with each keystroke. Over time though as my son's got older and it was always loud in the room or I was wearing headphones I couldn't hear it half the time anyway. I decided it would be better to feel the click. I tried a host of different tactile switches on the cheaper side to save a little money. After watching many reviews I decided I would get a set of the Glorious Pandas and then everything changed. As of now I have purchased 5 sets to cover my two primary keyboards and will probably buy two more in the near future to update my 3rd system's keyboard. While they will sound different in different boards the feel is similar regardless. I'm not a heavy typist so while they sound great when they bottom out I don't get that all the time what I do get though is the feel of the tactile bump and that is the satisfaction I wanted. It's my favorite hands down. Yes over time as this industry continues to evolve maybe I'll find something else but right now I just get the odd looks from the family as to why I have tons of switches in the closet I tested and removed for the Pandas. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tactile switch that feels great for typing and gaming that simply sound fantastic in most boards.

This switch feels like you are typing on a dream, It has the clicky tactile feeling of a MX Cherry Blue or Brown but with its own unique "thocky" sound to it. It really is a mixture of everything I enjoy in a MX Cherry keyswitch but better. I bought the lubed variant and I can tell the difference coming from a mechanical keyboard that did not have lubed switches its a much more comfortable and smooth experience. While I think the quality of the switch is perfect the amount of switches you get per box, the packaging, and the price are not Ideal. You only get 36 switches per box and if you are like me and have a full 108 key keyboard you need to buy 3 boxes of these and they aren't cheap switches to begin with. With these switches being advertised and priced as a premium switch, which to be honest, they really are, I would expect the packaging to be better. They come shipped in a thin cardboard box loose in a plastic baggy which lead to a couple of the switches being bent. With only receiving 36 in a box at the price they are I would like to expect a thicker secure box and with each switch packaged in some sort of plastic tray not in some sort of plastic baggy like I am buying a 100+ count of some Chinese offbrand cherry switches.

They are in fact tactile unlike other tactile switches and sound very nice, i highly recommend you try them.

For the price, they're honestly hard to beat, in my opinion. If you hate lubing your switches, or just don't have nor want to buy the tools to lube the switches yourself, then these are a great option. They aren't much more than the unlubed versions, compared to most switches, which can cost double the price to buy hand-lubed (looking at you, Durock), and honestly feel fantastic. They aren't too sharply tactile, but are enough to give you some decent resistance at the beginning. The lube job feels even, and I can't feel any significant grittiness in any of them. Some people say gaming can be a pain with heavier tactiles, but I'm generally very heavy-handed when gaming, so it doesn't feel like much of a difference to me, and it's nice to notice if I'm accidentally depressing another key that I don't mean to while playing an FPS. Probably the best bang for your buck as far as high-end tactiles, considering that Zealios cost more than this despite being unlubed. Hard not to recommend these for tactile enjoyers.

I bought 3 packs of "lubed" switches. I know factory lubed switches are inconsistent with the lube but I opened all three packs and couldn't find a trace of lube. The up charge on "lubed" is substantial and they should be somewhat lubed for that price especially when they are advertised as lubed when in fact they are not!!!! Lube your own switches. The switch itself is fantastic and after lubing, the glorious pandas are a must if you like tactical!

I came from Box White V2's and LOVED them so I decided I wanted to see other clicky options. Went to microcenter and saw these Raptors and the kailh jellyfish clicky switches. I sprung for the jellyfishs, they are fantastic as well...but I know I wouldn't be satisfied until I tried the glory that is glorious raptors... Here's the thing...if you already got box white v2's you already got top tier switches...the difference between all 3 is hardly noticeable. I will say though that the Raptors win overall...ever so slightly more crispy clicks and a slightly more pleasing sound... The key word is slightly. Box whites are already super close to perfect...these just nudge a little closer

Tienen un excelente sonido y buena calidad de switch.

Buenos switches. El tacto es muy satisfactorio.

Totally worth the price and it gave me the experience I expected.

Good feeling and sound, as expected. It brings 36 switches as advertised, but would expect more for the price, or an option to select how many you would like, since I require 29 (may be slightly off) more to finish my 65% keyboard; with this, getting another package would leave me with more than needed.

Man merkt sofort die herausragende Qualität der Switches. Ja sie sind teuer aber man erhält für das Geld auch die Top-Qualität, wenn man diese sucht.
