Know before you buy
No, the #70 Pom Glacier Pandas arrive unlubricated. This allows you to apply your preferred lubricant and tuning methods to achieve your desired sound and feel.
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches compatible with any Cherry MX-style mechanical keyboard. If your keyboard PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two plastic guide pins to make them fit.
Thanks to the POM housing and POM V2 stem, these switches offer a notably smooth, consistent travel. The 67g bottom-out weight provides a slightly heavier, more deliberate feel than standard lightweight linear switches.
The original BSUN panda housing is highly regarded in the enthusiast community for its tight tolerances and specific acoustic profile. Using this housing ensures a stable keystroke with minimal wobble.
Despite the 'Panda' name often associated with tactile switches, the #70 Pom Glacier Pandas are strictly linear. They feature a smooth, uninterrupted downward stroke without a tactile bump.
