New Drop 'Holy Panda X' switches

I’m quite glad to hear that, if only for my personal satisfaction. :stuck_out_tongue:

As for these new switches… I’m with @Manofinterests; the description of the tactility is less than exciting for me. I do like that they went with Gateron, though.

Of course I get why they keep using the name, but at least when it comes to the enthusiast community, I think the main thing they are accomplishing here is diluting any cultural capital that may be left in it. To quote Bob Marley:

If you want a big tree, use a small axe.

This seems like cutting the whole thing down for fast lumber to me - one last squeeze of value from the name before finding something else to hype.

Then again - Dorp’s product descriptions aren’t exactly known for accuracy as much as being key-word soup, so who knows - it might be nothing like that description. :man_shrugging: Many of my keeb purchases are driven by curiosity and a desire to share what I learn… I think I’ll leave this one to the sponsored reviews.
