The Invyr Holy Panda is an in-stock version of a community driven frankenswitch that was created by Quakemz. The Invyr Holy Panda is made by combining the housing and spring of an Invyr Panda linear switch and a stem of a Halo True tactile or Halo Clear tactile switch – LumeKeebs. | It's been a while since we got a "Stock offering" from Aflion rather than a custom switch but this set of 4 switches is pretty nice. Thunder Shadow is the heavy tactile of the series with PC tops and Nylon bottoms, although the factory lube is doing some heavy lifting in lowering the pitch on these switches – switchoddities.com. |
