Drop + Invyr Holy Panda Picture
  1. Updated Nov 06, 2023: Review published.

Compared To Other Keyboard Switches

GLORIOUS Panda

GLORIOUS Panda and Drop + Invyr Holy Panda are similar tactile switches with medium tactility and a deep, thocky sound. That said, the GLORIOUS switches aren't quite as stable to type on, and the sound profile doesn't quite match the quality of the Drop + Invyr Holy Panda switches.
