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.
If you need tactile feedback or a silent build, compare other families.
Pick a switch whose operating force matches your preference.
Match the product to how and where you actually type.
Switch count depends on your keyboard's layout. The typical ranges below are a starting point — the exact number depends on the specific model and any extra keys.
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.
Exact switch count depends on keyboard model / layout (and any novelties or extra keys). Always confirm against your board's official key count before ordering.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The goal is to make the key trade-offs visible: weight, travel, stock preparation, sound direction, and the type of user each product serves best.
