Most people are aware of Panda housings because of HPs.
But I see lots of people using Panda housings for other purposes, including silent linears.
I am most interested in how Pandas, such as YOK Pandas in particular, can be used for more moderate tactiles. Some people are putting MX Clear stems in them, I figure Sky would work to. Is this a preference for some people? I’m fine with building less extreme tactiles than the HP with the Panda housing.
I like the feel of a cherry brown stem in the Yok housings. Cherry clear stem in a Yok feels and sounds mostly like a full Cherry clear switch to me so it’s not worth the swap.
Very interesting. Thank-you. I’m also experimenting with Browns right now.
Starting modestly with 55 gr springs in the Browns, then going to 45.
I’ve been surprised how much spring weight can affect the bump on any given tactile stem.
I’m still trying to figure out what I want to use my YOKs for. U4 stems aren’t bad in them, but so far nothing has been too exciting.
The original Invyr Panda was meant to be a smooth linear, so the leaf works well for that. Until Drop started selling “pre-assembled” Holy Pandas and NovelKeys started selling the Purple Trash Pandas, they’d always come as linears out of the box.
Still, I haven’t settled on anything - so I’d be curious to know about your findings with those spring weights.
Sure. I’ll see if the modified Browns are any different / worthwhile.
