Quick Summary
The Glorious Lynx is a heavy 67g linear built around a POM stem, a polycarbonate top housing, and a nylon PA66 bottom, a parts list aimed squarely at a smooth, full-bodied keystroke. It punches above its budget price, arriving smoother stock than most unlubed linears and rewarding a light tune. If you want a deep, weighty linear with a deep sound signature and don’t mind a firm bottom-out, it’s an easy recommendation.
Specs and Feel
This is a pure linear (no bump, no click) with an even 67g actuation that feels planted from the first millimeter to the floor. The POM stem is the headline: it glides against the PC/nylon housing with the slick, low-friction character POM is known for, so even unlubed the Lynx reads as smooth rather than scratchy. There’s no harsh top-out chatter and stem wobble is well controlled, sitting in the acceptable range for a stock switch in this bracket. The nylon bottom housing gives the sound a fuller, deeper poke than an all-PC switch would, leaning marbly and a touch muted rather than clacky. The 67g spring keeps the stroke firm and confidence-inspiring; it’s a switch that rewards a heavier hand.
Tuning
It’s usable as-is, but the Lynx is a great lube candidate: a thin film of Krytox 205g0 on the rails and a brush of lube on the springs eliminates the faint leaf ping and pushes the smoothness into creamy territory. Films are optional given the tight stock tolerances. Most builders can skip them and spend the time hand-lubing instead.
Verdict
Buy it if you want a heavy, smooth linear with a deep voice and you’re happy to spend twenty minutes with a lube brush. The 67g weight is the deciding factor: it’s a treat for deliberate, bottom-out typists and a chore for anyone who wants a feather under their fingertips. Think of it as the linear counterpart to Glorious’s own Panda tactile: same house tooling and POM/PC/nylon recipe, but a smooth, bumpless glide instead of a snap. At its price the Lynx is one of the better-value stock linears around, a confident pick for a deep-sounding board.
Frequently asked
Does the Glorious Lynx need lubing?
No, but it benefits. The Lynx runs respectably smooth out of the box thanks to its POM stem, yet a thin coat of 205g0 on the rails and a light spring lube takes it from "fine" to genuinely creamy and quiets the leaf ping.
Is 67g too heavy for the Lynx?
It's a firm, deliberate weight rather than a fatiguing one. Linear fans who bottom out hard will love the support; lighter-touch typists or fast gamers may prefer a lighter linear.
What's the difference between the Lynx and the Glorious Panda?
The Lynx is a linear switch with no tactile bump, while the Panda is a heavy tactile. They share Glorious's house tooling and materials but feel nothing alike.
