Keychron K Pro軸

Bought the Q3 and it came with the K Pro Mint switches. I loved it out of the box and thought it felt, sounded amazing. After half a year, I decided to try other switches bc I was hearing lots of hype and getting fomo. I ordered the Boba U4Ts 68g switches as they were promised and heralded to be some of the thockiest and best tactile switches on the market. Well after typing on them for about a week, I can tell you that I prefer the Mint Pros. I could not believe how good the Mints are, especially compared to the Bobas which are almost always on the top of tactile switch lists.

The quality you get when coupled with the price of these is absolutely BROKEN. Buy these now.

I have been looking for essentially the snappiest, shortest tactile engagement with high AF.
I have used all K Pros, but Banana, every Cherry and a chunk of Gateron.

On paper and based on reviews the Glorious Panda's seemed like they were going to be it. I tried one out that was in a sampler.

The ONLY reason I bought the Pro Mint was because for $16 when I bought some other stuff, it was the price of a sampler.

I loaded up my Q11 and Q0 Plus and giggled. Then the Glorious Pandas arrived. I did have of the keyboard Mint half Panda.

I can't believe I'm going with the $16 Mints over $108 Pandas.

Mint vs Panda - they feel almost identical in everything except the Mints take more AF which I wanted. Having never used Bananas, don't listen to me, but I bet the Banana and the Panda would be extremely difficult to even decern under the keycaps, but it would be completely subjective. I wrote this review when I came back to order more Mints and saw they were out of stock. That makes sense. If this is the feel you are after, it has to be the best value switch on the market considering the quality.

I bought the banana switches without having bought a switch tester, and I was pleasantly surprised. I like the early tactile bump, both on the actuation and the return the bump was obvious. The switches being factory lubed saved a ton of time while building my keyboard. Originally I wanted to buy some Holy Pandas or Gateron Baby Kangaroos, but the offerings here seemed like a better deal. People transitioning from rubber domes would find the early bump familiar. I do wish the banana switches had dust proof stems though, like the other K Pro switches.
I also have the red switches from another Keychron build, IMO nothing special about them, other than it also being factory lubed and having dust proof stems.
