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.

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.
