Glorious Panda Lubed Switches - 36 Plate Mounted Mechanical Keyboard Switches

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 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.

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 arrived in good condition and complete. They come pre-lubricated, and I like both the feel and the sound they produce. I'm thrilled with the switches.

These are one of my favorite switches. Great take on the originals.

really nice switches, need to lube

Incredible switches. Getting lubed switches makes all the difference and the great sound profile of these has all my coworkers asking about them (surprisingly in a good way). They feel great and sound great, common Glorious W

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!
