Help me choose a switch
« on: Sun, 10 March 2019, 12:23:42 »
It's been a while since I've looked into switches and there seems to be a lot of new options in the market...

My favorite switches currently are Cherry Browns and Zealios 67g. I'm leaning towards purchasing Zealios 62g, but am open to other suggestions.

Requirements:
  • Must be a tactile switch
  • Must be lighter than 67g Zealios
  • Would like less wobble then on Gatereon Browns
  • Must be available for purchase now

Probably going to sound like a broken record, but I put together some holy pandas and all I can say is the hype is real...

Browns are like scratchy linears imo... Ive had a lot of boards with them, but they are just not fun to type on, and the tactility quite frankly sucks.

Take that information for what its worth..  What I can tell you is that I havent heard anyone say they didnt love the holy panda switches.. They feel so nice and sound great as well.  Hope that helps... I heard zealios v2's are comparable to pandas, but it really does come down to the person i suppose.. Pandas definitely sound better, but thats only part of why Id buy them again.

How can I get Holy Panda's I only see drops on massdrop that aren't active. Also which weight does it compare to in Zealios? I like the 67g, but again I want something a little lighter.

If you want something light, you can try spring swapping a Zealio.

Or you can try retooled MX Browns. They're light, but not very tactile compared to Zealios.

Buy some YOK Red pandas from novelkeys when they are back in stock, and then buy some Halo switches from massdrop, you need to combine them to get holy pandas. (red panda housing/internals and Halo stems)

I bought some on massdrop but they arent here yet so I made them when Novelkeys dropped the Yok Red pandas. (currently sold out but he gets a lot of stock pretty regularly..

Id sell these pandas/halos I have that need to be assembled, but its not going to be cheap, youd be better off waiting for someone to sell the massdrop pandas after they ship or making your own..  I wouldnt take less than 200 and only because I dont really want to sell them..

You realistically shouldnt have a hard time sourcing them if you have some patience and stay vigilant..

How tactile are these compared to Zealios? I'm leaning towards just getting 62g Zealios

If your budget is less than $1 per switch I will recommend 62g Zealios V2.
If your budget is more than $1 per switch I will recommend Holy GSUS with 63.5g Sprit progressive springs.
