Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources
Glorious's own pages disagree. The current lubed 'Panda MX' page says 50 g actuation, 70 g bottom-out, 3.3 mm total travel and 5-pin. The older unlubed listing says 49 g / 60 g and 3-pin plate mount. The original 2020 Panda was usually quoted at 67 g with ~4 mm travel. The specs here are for the current lubed 36-pack. 'Clacky/poppy' is the usual description but it's subjective.
