It Lives Up to My Expectation
Everyone's expectation is different. Although I have high hope for Holy Panda, I tried to keep my expectation in check. I have not tried all the switches under the sun nor do I have all type of key caps at my arsenal; but I do have quite a few to compare. I used to like clicky heavy switches and Cherry MX Blue were my go to switch. Four out of eight keyboards I currently own came with Cherry MX Blue out of the box. Two are Gateron Blue and one was Cherry MX Brown. I don't like liner type switches, but I like tactile switches.
I grew tired of Cherry MX Blue after I started comparing tactile feedback and sound signature against different type of keycaps, and numerous other switches. In my option, Cherry MX Blue performs better than all three Gateron switches (Blue, Brown, Green) I tired. There is one thing that Cherry MX Blue really irritates me. That is the ringing sound I heard across all keycaps on Cherry MX Blue when I bottom out. Every time after I press down a key and release it, it gives me this subtle ring that keeps getting louder the faster I type. But none of the switches I tried came close to overall feel and sound of Cherry MX Blue until I tried Hako switches. Only Hako Royal True sounds better than Cherry MX Blue, but it was too heavy compared to Cherry MX Blue.
When I compare Cherry MX Blue to Hako Royal True, it gave me the tactile feedback and sound signature I was looking for. I want something that sound like Hako Royal True but with lighter tactile that is closer to Cherry MX blue. I knew if I can get a switch lighter tactile than Hako Royal True, but a similar but more subtle feel than Cherry MX Blue, I can retire from this hobby. At least from the key switches and PCB layouts. Then, I read about Holy Panda switch that combined two switches into one to give unique sound signature. I listened to typing tests around the Internet and checked their tactile signature against all switches. I blindly pull a trigger on 110 switches twice on Drop. One set for Kira keyboard at work and another for my GK 84 at home with some switches to spare.
I have never been happier to type and hear the Holy Pandas with either SA or DSA profiles. My search for perfect switch has ended. I found my holy grail. I am more than happy with my purchase. Holy Panda has stretch the itch I was having for 5 years.

Better than I thought
I'd like to preface this with I did not open these switches up and lube them. These are stock. Everything feels fine to me, not sure why people are so upset.
While I was waiting for these I ordered some yok housings with some halo trues and 68g sprit springs + 3203 lube and figured it would be the same. These were totally different and more tactile. Maybe it's the 68g sprit that made them not the same I'm not sure.
I also bought some 67g zealios v2 and I don't understand how people say these are more tactile than holy pandas. Holy pandas were much better than zealios v2 for sure.
I have shared my these 3 different switches with my coworkers and we are in agreement that the holy pandas were the best out of the 3. They are endgame switches for sure and I'll probably have to buy more than the 180 I bought on the first drop

Crispy but smooth
I enjoyed the crisp tactile feeling and sound profile of these switches. They strike me as a cross between Kangaroo's and Boba U4T's in terms of tactility.

Really nice feel but they go bad quickly
I've been using these almost a year now. These have a really nice, tactile feel, but they go bad faster than other switches I've had. 5 of my switches have gone bad in the past couple of months.

Switches failing one after another
I've had those switches for maybe 2+ years and 20 of them failed. Some switch work 1 out of 3 times some dont work with specific angles. A key will work fine for a week then it will stop working properly after. I don't recommend them. Sound is kinda good tho.

Great, but needed to be on sale
I like these overall, but the cost and 3 pin nature of them keeps them at a 4 out of 5.

Great Tactility
Sounds and feels amazing. The tactile bump is smaller than switches such as Zelios V2 or BOX Royal, but it's still noticible with smooth action.

Great Switches - love the feel and sound
Well after going through MANY other switches (I have almost a full tub of switches), these are by far the best I have ever used. Feel and sound is great, and they don't annoy my coworkers at all, They just exude quality and reduce my double taps on switches as well as help keep me on track. It is hard to explain but these switches are just RIGHT, and I love them. Light comes through just perfectly.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for quality and an all around great switch.

Great tactile switch
Note: I returned these switches because I have learned that I do not like tactile switches.
Great quality switch that felt very smooth in usage.
