YOK Panda
Created as an alternative to the BSUN GSUS Panda switch by NovelKeys. YOK Pandas are a Linear switch most often used to make Holy YOK Panda switches – an equivalent to the infamous Holy Panda switch – by replacing the stem with that of a Halo True or Halo Clear.
When switches are made from the leftover parts – the stems from YOK Pandas and the housing of Halo switches, these are dubbed Unholy Pandas – resulting in a heavy (scratchy) linear switch.
Released in a number of interesting colours with equally interesting names – all with the same specifications.
Not to be confused with Purple Trash Pandas – those are tactile switches.
There are 7 variations of this switch:
Red Panda
Originally went on sale around January of 2019.
Mint Panda
The second to be released - these Mint Green Pandas made their debut shortly after the Red Pandas.

Notes
They feel pretty good without extra lubrication due to the factory lube but they do respond well to a thinner lube such as Tribosys 3203 (avoiding the legs).
