Comments on LICHICX XCJZ / JKDK Crimson Red Silent switches | Comments on MMD Holy Panda V3 switches |
XCJZ Crimson Red is a new silent tactile that utilises LICHICX’s unique silencing mechanism. It is essentially the silent tactile equivalent of XCJZ Lucy, the current meta for silent linear for it’s minimal mushiness on bottom out. There’s still some mushiness present, but it is still far better than some of its predecessors in the silent switch category – KeebzNCables. | When compared to the Drop Holy Panda switches, the MMD Holy Panda V3 switches are improved in the following aspects: 1. They are factory lubed using 205g0. 2. They have an improved switch pin structure for more precise actuation. 3. MMD adjusted the top housing materials to make them smoother. They come with a snappy tactility and crispy bottom-out which make them a great tactile switch. They are worth a try if you like holy-panda-like switches – Unikeys. |
