Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Panda

Drop + Invyr Holy 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.
