Glorious Panda

Manufacturer: Tecsee
Brand: Glorious

This was from Glorious themselves. Read with a grain of salt.

"A SWITCH LIKE NO OTHER.
The Glorious Panda is no ordinary mechanical keyboard switch. Created from the original INVYR Panda housing molds with improved internals and upgraded materials, the GP unlocks a transcendent tactile typing experience unlike anything your fingers have ever enjoyed.

Engineered with the most premium materials sourced from around the world, this switch features buttery-smooth operation, perfectly tactile response, and a sweet-sounding “thock” like a song from the heavens.

The feeling of Glorious Pandas could be described as a very snappy and responsive tactile switch. They feature a strong 'bump' at the start of the downstroke with a quick snap back to position in the upstroke. You'll notice less pre-travel, smoother operation, and a quicker snap back than its "holy" cousin.
Once you try it, your fingers won't be able to get enough.
The Glorious Panda is made with uncompromised quality. Below is a full breakdown of each component.

Top Shell - Created from original Invyr tooling, modified to incorporate Glorious branding, made with premium grade polycarbonate
Stem - New and improved Glorious stem that provides less pretravel for the tactile bump to occur and a stronger upward stroke, composed of POM sourced from Japan
Spring - 67 gram stainless steel spring with nickel plating, sourced from Korea
Leaf - Premium grade copper, sourced from Japan
Bottom Shell - Created from original INVYR tooling using premium Nylon PA66, 3-pin" - Glorious

Notes

(If you buy them lubed)
"LUBED
Lubed Glorious Panda switches come with G-Lube expertly pre-applied to the upper housing, spring, and stem of each switch. Perfect for someone who is looking for fully optimized sound and performance right out of the box - no prep time or disassembly needed." - Glorious

(If you buy them unlubed)
Use a light lube on the sliders to be safe. Lube like a normal tactile switch.

"Unlubed Glorious Panda switches come out of the box completely dry so you can easily apply your choice of lubricant. Perfect for hands-on users who prefer a more customized switch performance to fit their unique style. We recommend checking out our line of switch modding tools for the most efficient DIY switch lubing experience possible." - Glorious
