DROP + Invyr Holy Panda Mechanical Keyboard Switches - Plate Mounted Tactile Switches, Cherry MX Style, 67g Spring, by Kailh (70 PCS)

want your custom keyboard to clack? this is the switch to go. these are the FAMOUS holy pandas and a rite of passage for people building a keyboard. no matter what case you put them in. they will sound amazing.

These switches do tend to be expensive, but are definitely one of my favorites. I can't comment on how they compare to the glorious pandas, but I use two separate types of switches on the daily. For my office use I use the zelios v2 and for home I use my pandas. The pandas sound amazing and I love the tactility that comes with the switches. I would say that the v2 does feel more tactile at times; however, I enjoy the bottoming out of the holy pandas and the sounds it makes are pleasing to the ear.

Quality Issues were not bad. Almost none of them are pre-lubed, in my batch I only saw 1. 1 also had a broken leg but for my keyboard I had 3 extra switches so it's fine. Without the lube, you might be disappointed in the lack of thocc and the dry sound. Unlubed is part of the V2 holy pandas. But lube these up (correctly), it's a night and day difference. They feel amazing and the lubing process softens the sound and is much different than the unlubed sound. 10/10 would recommend.

I was worried that my set of switches would have the same QC issues that were stated in the past few months, such as broken stem legs, unequal spring lengths, and poor packaging causing the switches to look like they exploded in the box, but after inspecting half of the set I received, it's been very good so far. The switches arrived neatly packed, with all the switches sitting in the black plastic rails topped with 1/2" thick packing foam to keep everything in place. All of the switches I opened had the most minimal trace of a thin lube applied, but I found it to be a non-issue and it seemed it was at least consistent. I would be applying my own lube to these switches anyway, but at least the lube that was applied from factory was both very minimal but consistent across all switches I inspected. The only issue or inconsistency that I shared with other negative reviews were that many of the springs had unequal free lengths. I would approximate 25% of the springs were about 2-3mm longer in free length vs the majority. However, in actual usage of the switches, the actuation and bottom-out forces are not noticeable. They all feel and sound the same when used straight out of the box. Less than 5% of the switches I inspected and tested had audible spring ping, but with lube, this is not an issue. The housings on all switches had no noticeable wobble, so I won't be filming these. Other than the varying spring free lengths and a few switches with spring ping, these switches work, feel, and sound as expected of Holy Pandas. Update: Opened up the rest of the switches and found more inconsistencies. A much larger proportion of unequal length springs. Some switches are more scratchy than others, even after lubing. Although they didn’t need it, I tried applying 0.125mm thick switch films anyway. They fit fine, and the sound is slightly altered. Not better but just different.

The tactile feel of these switches is really, really nice. They are very similar to the Glorious Panda switches, but possibly have just a slightly more strong (less round) tactile feedback than the Glorious pandas. There is nearly no pre-travel before the tactile bump, which I really like. Strong tactile sensation not only when the switch is depressed but also when it restores to its normal position. I highly recommend these switches for anyone looking for a tactile switch.

These are the famous Holy Pandas from Drop Invyr. They honestly live up to the name, at least for me. It's a great tactile switch, I lubed the bottom housing, replaced with new 67g springs and lubed, and lubed the stems and the legs. I prefer smoothness over the tactility but lubing the legs doesn't completely remove tactility. I just prefer it. It is so easy to overlube these so watch out for that. THOCK? Yes. None of these switches came with bent pins, perfect packaging and packing. Comes in the original DROP box straight out of the warehouse. If you don't mind the stock switch being scratchy and feeling that crisp tactility, lubing is optional. To each their own.

I wasn't sure if I wanted these switches or the Glorious Pandas, but I finally decided on the Drop Holy Pandas. They are a great switch, and once lubed, they feel great and have a wonderful sound. They have plenty of tactile feel, and QC was perfect in the batch of 90 I got. The only complaint is the price.

Over all these switches sound and feel decent. I would've gave this product at least a 4 star if the package wasn't damaged, and wasn't also delayed by 2 week's. I under the shipping of everything now is not perfect, but 2 weeks when i payed for 2 day shipping isn't right. When the switches arrived (finally) the packaging was ripped, crushed on the sides, and looked like it has been open by many people before hand. I sent the original package back due to how gross the first one was and I got the same results! I didn't even bother to wait another month to get another set of these switches after that. When I finally finished lubing/finishing the switches, I put them in a PCB and over 25% of them where trash. 17 switches didn't work out of the 70! If you're looking for a switch because of the "hype" then this is for you, but if you're looking for an all around good switch, this is not at all for you.

Bought it as a Christmas gift for my 13 year old. Says it's really good stuff. He lubricated one, but prefers their clicking without lubricating. He's very very happy, and that's why I rate it high.

Ein Traum für die Ohren

Los switches llegaron bien acomodados y sin lubricar, lo cual es mejor para ya uno lubricarlos con krytox. El único problema fue que 3 switches no se insertaban correctamente en el socket, si servían y se detecta la tecla pero quedaban saltados (ver foto 2), pero todos fue resuelto porque al contactar directamente con Drop, al decirles el problema, me enviaron 5 switches extras y con ellos ya complete los 68 de mi teclado donde todos estaban funcionando al 100%. Muy recomendados por su sonido aun en stock, pero ya con lub y films seguramente suenan muchísimo mejor.

Eccellenti. Sono quelli che sto usando sulla mia tastiera e li trovo splendidi. Bellissima tattilità sia in pressione sia in rilascio dei tasti. Avevo letto che erano molto molto buoni e confermo appieno. Sono costosi, ma sono da prendere in considerazione se si digita molte ore al giorno.

Along with the Glorious Pandas, these Holy Pandas are my favourite tactile switches. They are firm, thoccky switches that for me, pairs well with high profile MT3 keycaps. If you are after the deepest thoccky feeling/sound, partner these with high profile PBT keycaps like MT3 and SA
