So close.
Itās the stem and spring from a holy panda. Kinda a controversial switch in the keyboard community.
It was the logo I had made for my little electronics shop that I never got off the ground so I use it for everything to make myself feel better about paying someone to make me a logo.

The holy panda is like people saying they know how to get a mew under the truck in the og Pokemon.
It was originally the stem from an input club halo and the housing of a panda. Super sought after frankenswitch of the mech keyboard world.
Well, they went defunct and clones started popping up everywhere. Glorious hit the market with, āguys we did itā and claimed they bought the original dies from cherry that made the stems so they are now the only people that can create and call the switch the holy panda. But there were big inconsistencies in the comparison between the two. Then Drop.com came and said fuck you we have the real holy panda. And then every one just kept flopping their dicks out for the panda.
So my stem in my logo is based on the original patent files for the stem.
Thanks for asking, in the 4 or so years youāre the first to ever ask

Pcb is now on fire 
Please advise
Lol, I kid, came of just fineā¦ got most / enough of everything cleaned upā¦ there will still be some because they globbed glue or some kind of potting on a lower section that is perpetually sticky
As suggested the pcb was marked under the cap, but I think itās marked opposite to what @enginerd was suggestingā¦ assuming what I googled about the pcb marking standard is correct
So just double checking

I thought I ordered a 24v 3a supplyā¦. But apparently I have a 12v 3aā¦
ā¦but the more I try to double check myself Iām less and less sure what the correct voltage is, or where I even got the 3a from because

Honestly figured it was a 3D printer hot end.
I was into keyboards for a while but got out a few years ago. What made the pandas so special?

at the time it was a really great tactile. Very smooth, big thock. Feedback and activation were perfect.
Now there are so many better options out there. My current favorites switch between the Anubisā and the Boba U4T. just excellent feedback and response with a crist thock.
