Very excited for this. They all manufactured by Gateron?
Other than the clear look and screw, is there something else special about the stabilizers? Why the screw?

Who's ready?Not you, otherwise you would have linked us to the goddamn pics.
What firmware?
I really want those silencing clips. Any idea of pricing?
Damn, I wasn't expecting the stabs to be THAT clear, that's amazing.
Any plans for under-glow similar to bface pcb's? Keep up the great work :thumb:
will it support qmk, tmk, or easy avr?
Clear stabilizers will be sold as "one bundle"
8x 2u, 1x 6.25u, 1x 7u. This is enough for 1x winkey, 1x WKL 60%/TKL board; OR 1x full size/ Compact 1800 layout w/ 2x 2u thumb spaces.

Zealencios would be great, haha
how many led controller are you using?Damn, I wasn't expecting the stabs to be THAT clear, that's amazing.
Shine bright like a diamond? :))Any plans for under-glow similar to bface pcb's? Keep up the great work :thumb:
The PCB already has 70+ RGB LEDs = over 210x "individual" LEDs. It's already approaching the maximum current allowed per USB 2.0 spec. USB 3.1/C needs to mature a bit more and stabilize before venturing into it.will it support qmk, tmk, or easy avr?
TMK port. Future revisions of the firmware will include a fancier UI.
Is there a difference between the two clips? It looks like one is clear and the other silver.

It's a frosted transparent cover. One is on a Zealio, the other on a Cherry switch to show my clips work on both switches. Due to the way I lit the picture with my camera flash, the white light scattered as it travelled through the silencing clips, making them look whiter than they should be.
Are there any plans to produce plate mount stabilizers in the future?
Take my money! This will be my first 60% keyboard.
Any chance for a 1800 layout? ;D
Will these silencing clips shorten the keytravel? (hope they will, that's a big advantage of o-rings imo)
What firmware?
TMK port for now. Will work on a fancier UI down the road.
Are these screw in stabs compatible with the WKL B.Face X2 / B.87 PCBs?Screw in stabs work with the standard holes for non-screw in so one can only presume so.
Does the PCB support a 1.25 L Shift + 1U as well?
Edit: typo.
Will we have a white version of the PCB? :confused:

What is the actual color of the PCB? My colorblind self just assumed it followed Zeal's purple color scheme.

Side note: Just had my friend @munch come by to test drive the "Zealencios" (silencing clips) with his 65g lubed Linear Zealios in a champagne red LZ-CP. Will render the footage and post some typing comparison videos very shortly. :)
How about under glow support for this PCB?Not happening.
I am sorry if this question has been asked somewhere but when would those screw-in stabilizers be available?
Thanks in advance!
How about under glow support for this PCB?
I'm a little confused about how this actually works. So does this take away from the bottom out sound... or..? Cuz I'm thinking that this may be a good replacement for O-rings on my blue switch board.
I need those stabilisers. Got a CPSQ in the works and it is getting a little bit of an ultimate everything board. I missed I think a massdrop for clear/gold stabs and kind or regret it as now that parts are starting to arrive for the CPSQ and gold springs and gold sip sockets look a little out of place next to black and blank steel stab wire. I assume the screw in is compatible with regular PCB cutouts for cherry stabs, will it fir in the chunky CPSQ plate/frame?
Is there a way to know when these are up so I don't miss them?

These take down the return top click that the switches make when you let off them, so together with orings this should really help bring down the sound a bit.

I'm need that PCB. Where can I sign up to be notified the GB is available? I'm always late to GB and they're all gone!
Having tried QMX silencers only to find that they don't work with the combination Zealios+SA... Do these?
Also, the name is now official Zealencios.
Is it possible to achieve this layout with your PCB, Zeal?

Maybe look into the 62/60, that may be more up your alley. Though, I still wouldn't skip out on Zeal's new stuff.

It had nothing to do with the cross, the Zealios housing were thicker than the Gaterons, so when the QMX-thingies were on the SA caps became stuck when depressed. Works fine on gateron blues.

Adding in the missing info in description right now. :)
Are there any changes to the stemwobble in R4?
So I see a 8x 2u 1x 6.25u 1x 7u stab set listed for 50 - is there any chance of getting a 8x 2u 2x 6.25u for 50 as well? Don't have any 7u boards but would love to kit out all my boards in those sexy stabs.
Are there any changes to the stemwobble in R4?
Yes, that's being worked on as we speak. Moulds are being tweaked right now.

This is what I am most interested in as well. Will we be able to get a confirmation of results of tweaking (whether positive or not) before the group buy closes? I would order a ton of them if the wobble was addressed as this has so far been the no.1 reason for me not to use the switches anymore.

Too bad the stabs ended up being that expensive. I totally understand why they had to be, but still...
I'll end up with one set of stabs and one set of zealencios to try out both. I'm fine with the 3 identical MX 60% boards I have right now, otherwise I'd end up buying more.
I should really branch out my keyboard game, there's so much out there! 65%... 75%... 84%...

Gold plated stabs from originative are 20$ https://www.originativeco.com/products/24k-gold-stabilizer
So it's "only" 10$ more.
:( It will end up being $46.35 after shipping and tax. Too much for me. Man, I really wanted these too.
These barely reduce the travel, and dampen upstroke and downstroke.:( It will end up being $46.35 after shipping and tax. Too much for me. Man, I really wanted these too.
Yeah, prices are pretty hefty.
60 dollar for some premium O-rings?
I really have to overthink this once again.

Unfortunately due to MOQ reasons, 7u needs some more love and that's why the larger bundled option features 1x 6.25 and 1x 7u. For the GB stage, 8x 2u, 2x 6.25u will not be offered, sorry.

Wait wait wait.... Did my stupid comment now really affect the name of the Silencing Clips?
The stabs should be compatible with any PCB right?
Like say I wanted to get the double pack for an MX HHKB Zeal60 and then a Clueboard?
Does the zeal60 pcb support a splitted backspace? From the pictures it looks like it does, but just want to be sure.

Ah darn - can I swap in a standard Cherry 6.25u wire into the stab mounts? Won't look as pretty, but a bit more economical I guess.
Also had another question I edited into my original post but you might have missed - how does the PCB work? Are the RGB LEDs presoldered? I was looking for 4 pin holes but didn't see those. If it's SMD LEDs, do the housings have to be the SMD compatible housings? Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere, just trying to wrap my head around this and couldn't figure it out from the picture.
When will preorders for the zealios and dampeners end? I'd like to order a couple things but I won't be able to until around next Monday.

Try not to think of it as an o-ring that only dampens/mushes the bottom out. The whole rubber part is barely 1mm thick, so it won't affect travel as badly as O-rings. They're also doubleshot into the plastic to provide a firm but steady bottom out, so that adds to the cost (think of all the doubleshot keycaps...). These clips also silence upstroke, which o-rings don't do. Works with plates and PCB mounted keyboards as well. Nothing like it on the market.
How do they dampen upstroke? Physically I mean.

Could we possibly get confirmation that the Zealencios work with SA keycaps? I'm also curious about compatibility with Aristotle switches. Thanks.
Possibly a stupid question but I assume the PCB will use the RGB LED on the same preorder page? I can't really make out the LEDs on the PCB rendering. Now to find a purple 60% case...

No, the Zeal60 uses surface mount RGB LEDs that are factory soldered. The 4-pin RGB LEDs I sell are for DIYers/people that want to make their own PCBs and give it a shot.

Oooo, definitely good news then, soldering 60+ SMD LEDd is definitely not something I'd consider fun.
Yes, it'll work if you swap wires. PCB has everything but switches pre-soldered. RGB LEDs are SMD on the back end, through a hole in the PCB. Doesn't need SMD compatible switches, unlike other PCB designs.
@zeal: Are these transparent stabs compatible with the B.Face X2 PCB and a regular PCB mount universal plate?
Oh noooo!
I've purchased the Zealerino Silencing Clips. :cool:
When are they shipped ? can't wait ... :-X
edit: Also if there's enough room in the clips I may actually fill stuff in it to further dampen the sound :D I've done crazy stuff in the past like this:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/93q6Ms8.jpg)
or you know you could just use atoprerubber dome
Will we have a white version of the PCB? :confused:
White/Black PCBs are a bit overdone...So it'll be purple for the time being. Will consider other colours in future revisions.
