I wish the Zoo65 came with different animals laser cut into the case.

The package has 12 stylistic animal faces printed on it, yet all the boards only have the dodo and fish.

It would have been awesome to have a different one for each color; or all of them on the back instead of all fish.

The WowStick drill version is very popular in the mini painting hobby, too. Though, I just use the Dremel stylo or whatever the small hobby tool is and it works just fine.

It's usually a WowStick.

Reply to what key switches are this in this video? many thanks in advance. i want this noise badly by CollegeBroski41

Keycaps are only a portion of the overall sound of a board. Switches, case, mods, foam, et. al. contribute to how it sounds.

I have two stock boards that are exactly the same but sound vastly different because they have different caps, switches, and mods in them.

But if you're just interested in the colorway and design of the keycaps in the video, those are Hipyo's own caps.

Usually in stock here: https://kineticlabs.com/keycaps/polycaps/hippo-pbt

Additionally, if I had to guess, I bet is has his own switches (lubed and modded) in it as well. https://kineticlabs.com/switches/kinetic/hippos

Reply to comment by rpo_Mave in Unpopular opinion: Drop Holy Panda v2 aren't very tactile by rpo_Mave

I really like them. I haven't lubed mine yet. I've been using them stock to break them in a bit.

They are very scratchy stock out of the bag. I don't think I need to film them, the tolerances seem tight. But definitely need to be lubed.

I'm thinking about ordering some others soon. I love tactile. I spent many, many years as dasKeyboard Cherry blue user, but once I stumbled into this hobby and community, I've pretty much left clicky in the dust.

There are a few linears I like; especially after I lube/film them. But tactile is where my heart is.

I haven't been around long, but my feeling is that anytime I see "panda" in the name with a few exceptions, it's all overhype and letdown.

Personally, of the couple dozen tactiles I have tried, so far my choice is the Coffee Chip Ice Cream (using right now, actually) or Neapolitan Ice Cream ones from CannonKeys.

Anubis switches seem good too. I recently picked up the Tecsee Purple Panda's and I like them, not really more than the other heavy ones I use but since they have 67g springs I thought I would check them out; plus...I wanted purple housings for aesthetics.

It's all subjective, really, it just seems like anytime I see anything called holy panda or panda in general I'm pretty skeptical.
