Glorious PC Gaming now offer their own official Panda switches. A combination of Halo clear and INVYR Panda switches, Panda switches have quickly become a cult favourite among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Of course they can be attached to Glorious's own barebones GMMK keyboard, but they can be used on any home build project. The Panda Switches are compatible with SMD LEDs but it's worth baring in mind that they don't have transparent casing so not as much light will make it through as with full clear switches. However, the switches do feature standard Cherry MX(+) connectors meaning that Cherry MX compatible keycaps can be connected to the Glorious Panda switches. Panda switches have a crisp feel when typing, due to their high actuation force (approx. 67g). This makes them extremely tactile, which is effectively complemented by a very distinctive click. One important point to note is that Glorious's Panda switches are not pre-lubricated from the factory. This is due to enthusiasts' preference to manually lubricate switches themselves. SPECIFICATION: Number of pieces: 36 Switch type: Panda Actuation Force: approx. 67 g Material: Polycarbonate, Nylon PA66 (casing), POM (stem).
Introducing: Glorious Panda Mechanical Switches
A premium tactile switch for a transcendent typing experience.
The Glorious Panda is no ordinary mechanical keyboard switch. Created from the original INVYR Panda housing molds with improved internals and upgraded materials, the GP unlocks a transcendent tactile typing experience, unlike anything your fingers have ever enjoyed.
Engineered with the most premium materials sourced from around the world, this switch features buttery-smooth operation, perfectly tactile response, and a sweet-sounding “thock” like a song from the heavens.
The feeling of Glorious Pandas could be described as a very snappy and responsive tactile switch. They feature a strong 'bump' at the start of the downstroke with a quick snap back to the position in the upstroke. You'll notice less pre-travel, smoother operation, and a quicker snap back than its holy cousin.
Once you try it, your fingers won't be able to get enough.
The Glorious Panda is uncompromised quality.

Pre-Lubed Panda Switch
Lubricated switches provide an enhanced sound and feel compared to their unlubed counterparts. Lubed Glorious Pandas come with G-Lube expertly pre-applied to the upper housing, spring, and stem of each switch. Perfect for someone who is looking for fully optimized performance right out of the box - no prep time or disassembly needed.
Unlubed Panda Switche
Unlubed Glorious Pandas come out of the box completely dry so you can easily apply your choice of lubricant. Perfect for hands-on users who prefer a more customized switch performance to fit their unique style. We recommend checking out our line of switch modding tools for the most efficient DIY switch lubing experience possible.
Compatible with all GMMK models
The Glorious Panda switches are 100% compatible with all GMMK models, backlight RGB, and all mechanical keyboard keycaps. The GP is also compatible with Cherry profile keycaps without the interference present in some other switches (eliminating the need for south-facing keyboard layouts).
NOTE: The RGB effect may be dimmer compared to switches with transparent housings.
