Here is a  side-by-side comparison of these two hot Frankenswitches in the same keyboard.  This should help you compare the sound of the two.


The recordings were taking in the same keyboard, with same mic positioning.  I recorded first with the Holy GSUS then swapped the switches to Holy Pandas and recorded again.

The Holy Pandas are using the Invyr Panda housing and spring with Halo True stem.
The Holy GSUS are using GSUS housing and spring with Halo True stem.

Both batches of switches were lubed the same way:
Krytox 205g0 on the lower housing and switch top
Tribosys 3203 on all parts of the switch stem
Dielectric grease on the springs

The keyboard is an Input:Club K-Type which has had foam and caulk added to the case to make it less noisy, and has clipped and lubed stabs.  The keycaps are mostly the stock K-type keycaps with a few novelties.

Judging from that video, the Holy Pandas have a slightly less pronounced bottom-out noise, but still too noisy for my tastes despite all best efforts to dampen the clatter. Do the two switches feel substantially different from each other?

I don't feel a difference, the force graphs show a slight difference in the return.
