Having tried both, yeah, the fake ones are surprisingly good. Someone should license the manufacturer of the fake ones with a brand so they can stop being fakes and become their own thing.
Buying a batch of authentic pandas, making moulds out of them and then selling those copies makes it their own thing? Dude, that's more dangerous to them than being a small -time scam shop.
wouldnt the sound test also have to depend on the type of keyboard that has been built, its obvious that the fake holy pandas were put into a low effort and barely customized keyboard comparing to the premium, different material, and well thought out keyboard with expensive and expert quality insides, this video is kind of pointless because it would make more sense just to compare them in the exact same keyboard. 👎👎
@@Dukedennisrizzing Wood would probably absorb most of the sound due to the fibers in it, while aluminum is less able to absorb sound without adding foam in the case, since sound waves bounce off of metal.
@@zachrichardson7099 just make 1 board with half of the fakes on one side and the other half of the swiitches on the other side, position of the switch on the board affects sound and feel as well but not as much as a completely different board would. The holy pandas sound much better in this comparison but I dont know how much of that is from the actual board. One of them is wooden and will sound different to the metal version even with the same switches and Keycaps.
Both boards have different conditions and factors that would effect the sound when comparing lol Wish you made a comparison video of the switches with same case and plate at the very least
Yeah it's not that much more work to just swap switches after the first test. For accuracy it should have been done. Also lubing both would have been a good idea
I have the fake ones. Lubing them is absolutely essential. They're the best tactile switch you can get for the money. Comparing them between Drop's and Glorious' Pandas, when the fake ones are lubed and filmed, they not only surpass the two but beat them to a bloody pulp when you consider the price. I also made a batch with 35g springs just for the heck of it. Don't lmao. The tactility just disappears.
You can actually wash the keyboard with water if you need too, but you would have to wait about 2/3 days for the whole water to evaporate, it will not damage the pcb unless you actually plug it in.
"REAL hOLY PANdAS ArE BETtER" yeah but is a full set of holy pandas $35? i would 100% buy these over actual holy pandas solely on the fact that you get more for your money
@@nbshftr The current price is a bit of a racket. I got some of the fakes, and even if I don't like them they'd be great for harvesting the stems, at the very least!
youre also the kind of guy (i guess) who wouldnt build yourself a keyboard because its not worth the money. i dont say you dont have the money, i say its not worth it for you. makes sense when you dont want to waste too much but some like to spend a couple hundred dollar to get the best keyboard they could buy Conclusion: everyone who is convinced to buy something from kbd also rathe buys the original holy pandas
I'd say the fake holy pandas didn't sound all that bad compared to the real ones surprisingly. The difference is in the real og holy pandas they sound a bit deeper and smooth while the fake ones sounds a bit lighter with some light rattles but not that noticable
Also the case makes a big difference. The wood case is a high profile than the aluminum case and absorbs sound better. Also the grey keycaps seem to be XDA profile while the pink keycaps are OEM profile. That would also make a difference. The rattling sounds come from the stabilizers, which were most likely not clipped and bandaid modded.
Nice video, tho testing switches on a differend boads isn't such a good idea. The best scenario would be just swap switches on the same board, to get the most correct result. Otherwise other variables come in place.
Not sure this is the best comparison. Case, caps, plate all make a difference in the sound/feel of the switches. Would have been better to put the switches in the same case with the same pcb/plate. Good video though.
This test isn't done right. One of the main things that change how keyboards sound is the case. The wooden cases are the best for sound and metal ones are worse. You used a wooden case for the real pandas and an aluminium case for the fake ones. If the tests were done properly the fake ones would have sounded almost identical to the real ones. You even took them apart and saw that they were identical, even factory lubed. This comparison was very biased.
Good video, but it would be nice if we could hear a sound comparison with the keys being In the same shell and stuff because that has a big impact on how the keyboard and switches will sound
i think this is not 100% accurate in the sound comparison, because is not the same keyboard, that can change the sound, what you have to do is change the switches in the same keyboard, that is 100% accurate to comparison.
I use Feker Tactiles myself (they have removed the Invyr branding on their switches) and they are totally fine to be a switch on their own without fake marketing as Holy Pandas. Fekers > browns any day bruh.
you know what, being totally and being a more so budget-oriented person, i'd actually consider buying them, of course, if i did and anyone asked i'd for sure say they're fake, but for someone new to the hobby. they actually sound kinda nice also literally anything is better than my current RedragonK552 with outemu blues
Funny is that I have both replica and OG. They actually sound the same 🤣 it sound a bit different in this test because they sit on a different keyboard material/build.
i think the fake holy pandas are from bang good the name is "Feker 108 PCS Mechanical Switches Tactile Pink Jade Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard" I might not be correct so dont tell me that it was wrong
I hoped you used your own keyboard for the sound test of fake holy pandas because the sounds are also affected by the other components of the keyboard and it's pretty obvious that your own keyboard have different components than your friend's
Pls tell me the name of these switches I saw ur vid about the gk68xs and I want to get it and use use holy pandas but I am too broke 😅 (also the fakes are pre-lubed so I don’t have too cause I’m super lazy)
when i saw the gray keyboard when i saw the design on the spacebar and esc key i just thought the mountains in the background were just smudges of dirt LOL
The "fake" Feker Holy Panda isn't as bad as people think. I don't think you're supporting any "fake" goods or I don't see why you should not support these alternative holy pandas. If you're promoting not supporting any "fake" goods, then you shouldn't even be buying Holy Pandas in the first place. Heck, you should not even be purchasing any switches apart from Cherry MX because prior to the 5 years patent running out, all switch's rights belong to Cherry. Right now, since it is no longer patented I don't see any wrong in purchasing them since they are technically not fake goods. So if anyone out there is looking where to get those alternative holy pandas, here is the Reddit link for a sound test and you can find more information on them and where to buy them. - www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/ja617p/feker_holy_panda_sound_test_unlubed/
PS - By your logic, people shouldn't be buying from either Drop or Glorious as well since both companies are technically branding the switch with false information. GMMK with the wrong material for the stem and Drop with the wrong material for housing. So... the original Holy Panda is still a Frankenstein switch by combining INVYR Panda and Halo True Stem. So yeah... I don't think you should be suggesting or even hinting to people what they should and should not do. The switch can be found on Aliexpress under Feker Holy Panda in case you're too lazy to read through the Reddit post.
Hey umm just pointing this out you should have gotten identical keyboards and tested it on them because there are some obvious differences between them.
Before I clicked on this video I didn't know what holy pandas were, (Idk much about keyboards). But... I want them now. Also I've been wondering for a while now, what's your outro song. It sounds REALLY good to me. I would love to know, and thx for being an awesome content creator too! >w

Are we gonna ignore the “WADS” layout at 1:50
Guys remember depending on the type of keycaps it can change the sound a little bit
I hate how they both sound different but with good modding they both sound great
imagine someone actually tried pulling off their switches with a sauntered keyboard and then they break it completely
i did :(
try making a frankenstein switch with the fake ones and the real ones
The fake ones sounds like a school keyboard
people are still complaining how the keycaps could sound different - they look like both are pbt and have the same profile if i'm not mistaken

this is correct
"im in the back alley. I got the goods." Had me dying from the start of the video LMAO
Completely different keyboards will produce completely different sounds. Not really a good comparison
Agreed, a wood case will result in a deeper sound and abs plastic has a much higher pitched and hollower sound.
