PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
X MARKS THE SWITCH
The Holy Panda experience has evolved with the introduction of the Holy Panda X, the next iteration of tactile typing designed for an authentic feel with unrivaled consistency. Departing from the original Holy Panda production process, in which two switches were disassembled and their parts combined, we collaborated closely with Gateron and a few familiar faces to recreate the Holy Panda experience through a fully engineered product. Carefully selecting components has resulted in the Holy Panda X feeling incredibly similar to its predecessor but with significantly reduced stem wobble and improved consistency across the board. Among tactile offerings, it truly is a treasure that can only be found here. X marks the switch.
DESIGN INTERVENTION
The original Holy Panda switch, a fan-favorite found on many keyboards, was community-created by combining housings from the Invyr Panda Linear Switch with the stem of our Drop Halo Switch. While this resulted in an ultra-satisfying tactile feel and unique sound, the process of disassembling and combining two different switches had its flaws, leading to consistency issues. Numerous unofficial Panda-variants were created in attempts to replicate or improve upon the Holy Panda's signature. To address these issues, we collaborated with the original creators of the Holy Panda to refine the typing experience and partnered with Gateron to bring our designs to life.
HOLIER-THAN-THOU PERFORMANCE
The Holy Panda X is fully engineered, meticulously replicating the Holy Panda feel. This successor features a smoky-colored design with a polycarbonate top case, nylon bottom case, and POM stem, all manufactured by Gateron. With improved stem stability, lubrication reliability, and overall consistency, the Holy Panda X easily surpasses its predecessor. Say hello to your next tactile switch.
WHAT THE COMMUNITY THINKS
Users have praised the Holy Panda X for improving upon the original switch, offering smoother, rounder tactility for a more modern typing experience. With negligible stem wobble, a smooth downstroke, and pronounced tactility, the Holy Panda X is a distinct yet familiar switch that many are eager to include in their daily keyboards. The refined smoothness, tactility, and construction of the Holy Panda X have left users feeling like they have finally found their perfect switch.
