I mean, it's obvious that pretty much nobody wants to use Pandas as they are. The real reason why people went nuts over these switches is frankenswitch market and combining with either Halo True, Halo Clear or Otemu stems.
Now, making another run of Pandas looks like a difficult job from more than one perspective. First of all, original molds are supposed to be destroyed. Second, material that used to make Panda tops is thought to be POM, but lately it has been proven that it actually isn't. Instead, it's some unusual nylon mixture.
Without extensive consultation with original makers, I highly doubt it's possible to make another run anything like the first one, because you need to have:
- exact dimensions (we've all seen how badly +/-0.1mm can **** things up on recent example of Box switches)
- exact nylon mixture used (otherwise, they wont feel or sound the same)
But, with all that being said, I'm not saying it's not possible to make someting as good, or maybe even much better than the first run. For example, maybe real POM tops, or even complete POM housing would provide even better platform for frankenswitches.
Anyway, I'll wait for reviews. If prominent community members say it's good - then it's good.
And I hope this whole thread is not just a trollfest.
