    Looks like they're just cashing in on that Holy Panda name. The switch is made by Gateron but had nothing to do with their "X" line of switches. No Halo stem or panda housing in sight. I think if they gave it a whole new name it wouldn't leave such a bad taste in the mouth, but as it stands it just feels like it's riding the OG Holy Panda's coat tails.

      Yup. I'm loving mine. Can't imagine switching ( No pun intended). The feel is 10/10 (sound is like an 7-8/10, but NBD for me).

    • @SherryDC
      @SherryDC 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@khaledbloushu3187 I lightly lube like a linear switch and ultralight lubing on the legs (like getting a bit of lube on the tip of my finger and rubbing the legs a bit). Makes the U4T's unbeatable, for me atleast.

  • @88Opportunist
    @88Opportunist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I like this move to start using more aggressive return springs in switches. Should do a lot to eliminate the mushy feeling for those that have always preferred going linear because of it. This probably isn't THE switch but I look forward to seeing more switches taking this direction and the one the Epsilons from the previous vid took.

  • @zhrimb
    @zhrimb 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think these are a really neat and unique new switch that suffers from the unfortunate side effect of its naming, it's as much a Holy Panda switch as the Mustang Mach E is a Mustang. Both great products with awful names that piggyback off of past successes for visibility.

  • @eternalwanderer3785
    @eternalwanderer3785 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing to note on the sound test, regardless of switch, depending on the keyboard the keys H & G will sound different - even if you use the same switch. So unless we're getting comparisons from the same key, the sound signature comparison is not entirely accurate.

    The HPX's sound profile does not even have that signature long pole clack we are all accustomed to, to holy pandas. It's actually pretty underwhelming. It's great that they are improving on the essential characteristics of the holy panda, just wished that they kept that signature long pole which was definitely part of the frankenswitch's identity.
    If they truly wanted to make a true successor, they would have colored it similar. It just looks like a Tactile Gateron X with ink top housing at this point.

I'd join their discord and talk to him about them if you have any questions! There were others who replied to my questions saying only good things about them. But yeah the slow springs would be to add tactility. I'm thinking of grabbing them to do a review but i'd want to compare them to the original holy pandas.
