What it sounds like
The Holy Panda is known for its bump more than its sound, and the sound follows from it. The bump comes early and hard, so each press lands with more force than on a gentle tactile like a Cherry MX Brown. What you hear is a crisp tap on the way down and a deeper thud at the bottom.
It sits between the two extremes: louder and more defined than a linear such as the NovelKeys Cream, far quieter than a clicky switch like the Cherry MX Blue, since there is no click mechanism at all.
