Durock Koala
TactileA T1-family tactile commissioned as a Holy Panda alternative, with a rounded thocky character of its own. For big-bump fans who want a variation on the theme.
Sound & feel
Koala rides the T1 platform with its own housing recipe, delivering the same class of big rounded bump with a slightly different voice, a touch thockier and rounder than the standard T1 to most ears. It emerged in the wave of "Holy Panda alternative" commissions and carved out its own following.
Specs match the family template: 67g bottom-out rating, ~55g actuation, factory lube, 5-pin. Choose between Koala and T1 by sound preference more than feel; in the simulator, A/B them on the same layout to hear the difference.
