Wow, I remembered back in the days when you mostly reviewed Redragon, RK and other cheap mechanical keyboards. And now here we are at the HP X switch review, please keep it up :D.
1st: those switch lovers need to see the components (like the legs on the stem, the original Drop Holy Pandas were too thin and often broke) and your camera constant zoom-in makes for a pleasing video but doesn't allow us to see the components in details. Another detail missed was a sound test of the housing top and bottom, on the original it is a softer plastic and on the Gateron's seems harder... 2nd: lubing the switches in your sound test actually removed the "thockiness" expected from the switch, so you basically made it closer to a brown by lubing them (personal choice however). I will stick to the Glorious Pandas, as they are very sturdy and satisfying. I got 3 keyboards that I retrofitted with original Holy Pandas (1 lubed and two unlubbed) and another 3 with Glorious Pandas (1 lubbed and 2 unlubbed) and Glorious Pandas without extra lube works best to my taste.
I haven't tried these of course, but the Tecsee Neapolitans have a pretty similar force graph. And they sound much better than these do. I think for $1 a switch there are just too many other options out there to justify this kind of price tag. Great review though, thanks for helping me come to an opinion.
Agreed! Just built my fiancee's KBD Fans Odin with a full set of Purple Pandas and compared to my Glorious Pandas in my Mode80, it's really really hard to beat that value. They came in at $50cad for 110 switches.
I really like this channel and your videos. You are super positive and get straight to the point. This video has me so hyped for the switch! People keep bagging on them because of the shorter poles compared to the OG holy panda but I think that was one of the things that made me dislike and give up using the OG holy panda to begin with. Thank you for the video!!!
2 years after posting, have you had a chance to try Zealios v2 tactile? How would you compare if you have? I own some zealios switches and they are hands down my favorite tactiles. I came across a good deal for some Holy Panda X clears and wanted to know if they are similar at all
Could you make a review on the gateron pro yellow switches and compare them against the gateron milky yellow and the gold cap yellows? And possibly to some other premium switches like black ink v2s?
I've tried both Gateron Milky Pro Yellow ( KS-3X1 ) and Pro Yellow ( KS9 Pro ) and here are my thought: 1. Stem: stem wobble on the KS9 Pro are less than the Milky one, both in 4 directions. But the Milky doesn't fall behind far, it's still does the job well. 2. Smooth: both of them are very smooth in stock due to the pre-lubed and I didn't notice any differences even after lubed. 3. Sound: the Milky Pro have a deep sound in stock and even more deeper after lubed and filmed, while the KS9 Pro sound is very neutral in my opinion; not deep like Milky but also not clacky like other switches.
I still remember you reviewing the k530 and also the same reason why I bought it but I am thinking of upgrading to a more premium keyboard like akko acrylic 61 but there isn't any full review on it and was hoping if you can provide me with some info and would you recommend it.
@@BoodskiBro I have both now and I'd say in my own oppinion I like bobba's tactility better, but when you want to play games and not just type the holy panda Xs should feel better like when you need to double tap the key etc.
Great review! I was on the fence about these but I think I will be picking up a set at the discounted price. Was wondering what the specs are for the board you're using in the video. Any recommendations on boards to pair with these switches? Thanks and instant subscribe for me!
I got an email from Drop a few hours ago regarding Holy Panda X being available for pre ordering, and suddenly I see your video for the exact same switch. Is this a sign? 🤣
I would love to see tech stuff as the ‘custom keyboard’ stuff has been long worn out for me. Switches change actuation buy 1%, sound softens by 5% and change the colour of the switch casing and another switch review 🤦🤦♂🤦♀ boring! I loved the budget tech product reviews which have been missing for some time now 😢😭.

Absolutely! So glad you've been enjoying everything to stay with the channel that long! Also LOLS because my next video is redragon

glorious pandas w/o lube are ping monsters... how do you even like them stock?????????
Ohh man video quality is getting higher to higher.
That cinematics ,dropping switchs and lots of things.
great
Nice review. What lube did you use, and did you lube the feet?

The Tecsee Coffee Chip tactile switch is also a great alternative to Neapolitans and Holy Pandas

I was wondering about the factory lube, thanks for covering that topic. :) Good review!

How does these compare with the anubis?
Nice video mate support your content.
do you know if these will be an instock item later?
How is this compared to the bobba u4t?
I'd like to know this too
@@BoodskiBro I have both now and I'd say in my own oppinion I like bobba's tactility better, but when you want to play games and not just type the holy panda Xs should feel better like when you need to double tap the key etc.
Needs more sound tests and comparisons to other Panda switches
Where's the full sound test he promised at the end??
I'd like to know how these compare to Halo Trues since I already own Trues and want to know if it's worth dropping money on Panda Xs.
Can you also do a 96-100% compact mechanical keyboards review. example rk100 or rk98, theres also epomaker96 or rakk illis
Can you try to compare them vs azure dragons and boba u4t? I am lost now between those...
Can you do a review on the Akko Sakura switch
damn i remember when i was watching you at 30k, now you are verified, cool!
Drop Holy Panda X or Zilents V2 67g?
pandas, zilents arent worth the price for what they are
Just a suggestion, but you should try the feker holy pandas
What board are you using during the sound test?
which is the beast colour keycaps for a red dragon k556 black tkl
Could you do a best linear switch review for office/game keyboard mix?
try tangies but replace the stems with UHMWPE stems from 415 keys!!
Am I the only person put off by a tactile described as buttery smooth?
Could you please tell me what stabilizers you use?
Great review! I was on the fence about these but I think I will be picking up a set at the discounted price.
Was wondering what the specs are for the board you're using in the video.
Any recommendations on boards to pair with these switches?
Thanks and instant subscribe for me!
I think his board is just a cheap GK61 or something, whats your budget for the keyboard? 100 300 500 800? USD
@@tombaker2510 Budget is closer to $100-150 USD. I currently use a Ducky One2SF with GMK keycaps, so I'm looking at around the same price point.
Can you plsss do a video on nb681 vs phantom 87 vs rk84
nice vid thinking about getting the switch!
that's true, I do like my Akko ocean blues, they are on my main board, the akko mod005, lol
Do you have a problem with fast flicks on the redragon m808 wired
Please respond
yoo u are really cool bro
can u plsss do a bajael k100 pro review plsss
sound test at 7:40
CAN U PLS REVIEW RAZER BARACUDA X PLS🙂
I probably need this 😎
My favorites are the hyperx aqua
what lube should I be using on these switches?
Normally Tribosys 3203 would be suitable for Tactile switches.
I used Krytox 205G0 and they sound great
I got an email from Drop a few hours ago regarding Holy Panda X being available for pre ordering, and suddenly I see your video for the exact same switch. Is this a sign? 🤣
Cool glasses
Looks like a KS3 yellow
and that is how it sounds
