Of the currently available in-stock tactile switches, which would you say is the closest in tactile feel to a Holy Panda, but with 5-pins (PCB mount)?
Check out the Ethereal Pandas! They’re literally a Holy Panda, but recolored and five pin.
A GB just ended… but there should be extras on Dangkeebs soon. Monstargear, Candykeys, Prototypist, etc already have their extras live.
to be pedantic since it says it’s a clone stem it’s not literally a holy panda. I don’t really follow new tactiles anymore so maybe someone else has tried them/can speak to how good it is.
I’d doesn’t have to be exactly like a Holy Panda, just have a similar feel with a large rounded tactile bump. The ethereal pandas look great, if a little pricey. Any cheaper alternatives out there?
I think Everglide Oreo has a tactile feel pretty close to Holy Panda, it has 5-pins and $0.55/pc.
Ended up getting the Ethereal Pandas from Candykeys afterall… And I gotta say that is one gorgeous looking switch, looks much better than in any of the photos / renders … It’s almost going to be a shame to cover it up with keycaps
Now I’m tempted to buy ePBT Aesthetic just to have a “matching” keycap set even though I already have another keyset I planned to use for my build.
