Great if you love a heavy tactile keypress. Buy it just for that spacebar sound 👌

I picked this up after deciding I wanted a TKL board and Holy Panda switches. I broke it down and taped the PCB, put some butyl rubber for sound dampening and replaced the stabs with some Durock plate mounts (well lubed and band-aid modded). I also lubed all of the switches with Krytox 205g0. The Holy Panda switches are a lot heavier than anything I have ever used, but I really like how tactile they are. It feels typewriter-like because the switches take the most force to "start" the press, and it slides down much easier after. Very poppy. The difference in feel before and after lubing is very noticeable. I was very careful not to overlube as the 205g0 is pretty thick. The keys maintained their tactility, but they are definitely easier to press down after lubing. I would recommend using a slightly less viscous lube such as Tribosys 3204 so you don't overlube and lose the good feel from the switches, unless you are comfortable with the thicker Krytox. I say this after stubbornly ignoring the advice of others and grabbing Krytox anyway. It definitely took much longer to lube as I had to be much more precise to get a good sheen without clumps. Good sound, good feel, and a solid heavy build. I also really like the high-profile case, makes the board sound much better. My only complaints are the lack of screw holes to install PCB mount stabilizers, and the really crappy switch puller that came with the board. When looking at some videos of the board being opened it looks like they used to send a much higher quality switch puller. Not a make or break since you can get good one pretty cheap, but disappointing for a board as expensive as this one. Overall, very happy I picked this one up.
