Tactile 5-pin PCB Mount Factory Lubed

Compatibility

5-pin PCB mount Possible by clipping the two plastic locator pins if required Standard socket-style supported; sleeve-style hot-swap sockets excluded MX-style cross stem 5-pin mount — confirm PCB and plate support for your board.

Build notes

The current SKU is a 5-pin switch. Guidance indicates the two plastic locator pins may be clipped when a 3-pin PCB requires it, but hot-swap support is limited to standard socket-style designs and sleeve-style hot-swap sockets are specifically excluded. Count the exact switch positions before choosing 10-, 35- or 70-switch packs, and do not assume LED compatibility because it is not confirmed.

This product is available in packs of 10 / 35 / 70 switches — pick a pack that covers your layout with a small margin for testing or replacements.

Xuhua Holy Panda 5-Pin Tactile Switch — A five-pin tactile with compact travel
CORE EXPERIENCE

A five-pin tactile with compact travel

Xuhua Holy Panda is a factory-lubed five-pin tactile switch with 55±5gf operating force, 62±5gf bottom-out, and 3.2±0.2 mm total travel.

It is for buyers who want a pronounced tactile direction in a native five-pin format.

  • 55±5gf operating force
  • 62±5gf bottom-out
  • Real sound-test video available
Bottom line: A distinct five-pin tactile option with compact travel.
WHAT MATTERS

Choose on this version’s own facts

The verified force and travel give this Xuhua version a defined tactile direction without assuming it feels the same as another Holy Panda-named switch.

The practical choice is the combination of tactile feedback, compact travel, and five-pin fit.

  • 2.2±0.2mm pre-travel
  • 3.2±0.2mm total travel
  • Factory-lubed
What it means: Choose the Xuhua version on its own specification and fit.

Xuhua Holy Panda 5-Pin Tactile Switch — Fit the five-pin footprint
FIT & SETUP

Fit the five-pin footprint

Use standard socket-style five-pin MX-compatible PCBs. A three-pin board may require clipping the two plastic locator pins; sleeve-style hot-swap sockets are not compatible.

Choose 10, 35, or 70 switches after counting the board’s required positions.

  • 5-pin PCB mount
  • 3-pin use may require clipping plastic locator pins
Build note: Check socket style and footprint before ordering.
WHO IT SUITS

For native five-pin tactile builds

Choose Xuhua when you want a pronounced tactile switch with native five-pin mounting and compact travel.

Choose MMD Holy Panda V3 when a three-pin compact-stroke option is the better fit, or choose a linear if a bump is not wanted.

  • Distinct Xuhua version
  • Not MMD Holy Panda V3
  • Materials not inherited from competitors
Decision note: A five-pin tactile choice with its own fit story.
