I was interested in buying this switch when it was going to get released but this thread helped open my eyes;

Ok, so I just read through the Mech27 V2 Geekhack drama involving mech27.
And whereas I would be somewhat reticent to call it a scam (as that would imply it's intentionnal) it feels more like mech27 ****ed up pretty bad getting in way over his head on stuff he just couldn't manage.
That being said people have every right to be furious about it and it definitely points to mech27 not being reliable.
Combine that with Drop not being known for their reliability especially when it comes to quality control (sorry Drop but you know it's true).
Well... this might end up going fine and being an awesome product but definitely not inspiring much confidence here.

consider cutting mech27 out and reducing the price by whatever his cut would be

It wouldn't hut you take a look into the Gat Oil King's top housing. Designed not to interfere with Cherry keycaps while norht-facing.

Don't support Mech27. Don't buy these. Make your own. Novelkeys have trash pandas for cheap.

It's just so funny that Drop uses Mech27 for a reviewer... Yeah, great idea to use a known scammer and someone who has disappeared from the community for the past 3 years to pop up trying to sell us something. Bad move drop, bad move.

Mech27 literally stole peoples money. Do you really want to represent a thief DROP?

How to Introduce the Keyboard Hobby to Others This Holiday Season
Prototype QFRL100 by Thebloodyez with GMK ZX "It's just a keyboard." My Friends, Kate and Jaime’s Expressions After I Explained to Them That There Was Such a Thing as a Keyboard Hobby Many of us have heard this, either stated to us directly by a quizzical individual wondering why on earth we’d find our hobby interesting or as part of someone else’s conversation that we happened to have overheard. While there are certainly less mainstream hobbies than mechanical keyboards, it’s definitely not a common hobby, and it makes sense that those that aren’t in the hobby may not understand “what the point” of having a mechanical keyboard would be. While those same people may still not truly “get it,” even after attempting to explain to them what makes our hobby enjoyable, at least you’ll have introduced them to the hobby, and sometimes a glimmer of curiosity is all that it takes before they start their journey to become a keyboard enthusiast! Especially since it’s the...

First Full Custom KB Build
Everyone has to start somewhere, and I started here. I've done my share of pre-built KBs and as I'm sure many of us here have noticed none are perfect. The keycaps are good but the keys are flaccid. The keys are good but the backboard is iffy. Building a full board is something I look forward to typing on. A combination of lubed Panda keys and dual-injection MT3 caps provide a muted feedback that's like laying back in a broken-in leather couch. The only downside being it doesn't want for rapid typing. The key cap design requires more "lift" than a flatter key, and the keys while fluid seem...laggy. overall a solid 4/5 overall.

False Advertising BEWARE
This company should be ashamed of themselves. Advertising to young people who save all their money and want nothing more than a keyboard and advertise to them that it is in stock and will be shipped asap and they will arrive before Christmas. Only to "ship" and package and get their hopes up and it arrives and there is no keyboard in the package. Then to get on the website and it isn't even going to ship until January. This happens AFTER you have received their money and made promises that it was arriving, on it 's way, etc! Shame Shame on you!!!

- To create an even smoother and more refined feel than the Holy Panda
- To have factory-applied lubricant that is great out of the box, but leaves room for improvement by dedicated enthusiasts.
- To create a switch that Quakemz, Invyr, and Mech27 (the Holy Panda’s original contributors) would all agree is an improvement over the original
- To create a switch that delivers more consistency than the Frankenstein-assembled Holy Panda
While there have been many replica and clone “panda” switches released since the original Panda and Holy Panda, none of them have formally involved or directly compensated the designers for their groundbreaking work. With the creation of Holy Panda X, these three creators will receive royalties for their contributions to the intellectual property of the switch.Here's a force curve of the original Holy Panda as sold on Drop.com. In coming days, we'll release more details about the modifications and the final force curve comparisons.
