Mechanical switch GLORIOUS Panda Silent 5-pin tactile MX-stem 50g pre-lubed 36 pcs

GLORIOUS Panda Silent are tactile mechanical switches with an MX-style stem and a 5-pin housing designed for hot-swap and solder-mounted custom keyboards. Each switch provides a 50g actuation force and arrives pre-lubed to reduce friction and mitigate ping, delivering a smoother keystroke and quieter operation compared to unlubed tactile switches. The pack of 36 switches suits small builds, key cluster upgrades, and repairs.

Advantages

These switches combine a pronounced tactile bump with a relatively firm 50g actuation, giving precise feedback without an overly soft feel. Pre-lubrication reduces scratchiness and lowers key noise for a more refined typing experience. The 5-pin housing increases mount stability on PCBs that accept plate-mounted or PCB-mounted switches, while the MX-compatible stem ensures compatibility with most tactile keycaps. The silent variant further decreases bottom-out and upstroke noise, making them suitable for quieter environments.

Suitable for

• Custom mechanical keyboard builds (small layouts or partial replacements)
• Keyboard repairs and switch cluster upgrades
• Typing and gaming where tactile feedback is preferred
• Environments requiring reduced keystroke noise

Key specifications

• Switch type: tactile, silent variant
• Stem style: MX-compatible
• Housing: 5-pin for increased stability
• Actuation force: 50 grams
• Pre-lubed: yes, factory-applied lubrication
• Quantity: 36 switches per pack

How to use

Install the switches into a compatible hot-swap keyboard socket or solder them onto a PCB that supports 5-pin housings. Ensure keycap stems are MX-compatible before mounting. When soldering, follow standard ESD and soldering safety procedures and allow sufficient time for solder joints to cool before testing. After installation, test each key for a consistent tactile bump and quiet operation; a brief break-in period may further smooth travel.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair GLORIOUS Panda Silent switches with medium-thickness keycaps and a stable plate or gasket-mounted case to preserve the tactile feel. If further sound dampening is desired, consider using foam between case layers or switch films to reduce wobble. Avoid excessive additional lubrication unless you have experience, as over-lubing can alter the intended tactile profile.
