Panda Drum Switches
“What else can I say, Panda is the cutest living creature ever”
Hey, this is DesignerStudio. It has been a long time since our last product launch. During this period, we are working hard on a new mold that might innovate the mechanical switches. We called it the “drum” structure. We worked on this mold for nearly 2 years. And we got our patent recently. And it is the best time to show the product to the world.
Drum Structure
We have developed an innovative MX structure mold, which we call Drum Structure. The central mast adds a drum-shaped sound cavity, and when the stem pole hits the bottom housing, the bottom-out mimics the process of hitting the drumhead.
What’s more, we provide different materials for substituting the central mast such as stainless steel, brass, aluminum, carbon fiber, POM and more to present different sound performances and different travel distances. The most interesting thing that we discovered is that it can mimic the typing sounds on different plate materials.
We also renovated the LED diffuser. The ivory, translucent diffuser with the chamfered surface can provide a better and more even RGB light effect.
Last but not least, we added a structural bead on the top housing in order to provide better stem stability.
Color Design
The color theme is taken from our favorite animal of all time –the Giant Panda. Beyond that, we provide customizability to the product. We have black and white top housings, bottom housings, and stems where you can create your preferred appearance for the switches.
Product Showcase
Our product has been exhibited at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne, Germany. Here are some live photos at the scene.
