Is Zeal's site down? I can't seem to hit it to make an order...

EDIT: Nvm, seems to work again! Yay!

Oh okay cool.

[cwils0n]

Just got my 65g Zealios in.  They are so purrrrrdy:



I'll be putting them into an Ergodox build, but I'll be waiting on Carbon SA to compete it.

[HoffmanMyster]

I need these to arrive yesterday pls

[Invaderevan]

My Order came today! But I am at the fair and not the office

That looks great. Now, how many more minutes until a typing test pops up?

We want to hear them, nowwww!

 

[jbondeson]

Yeah, I would if I actually had an audio setup that wouldn't be me putting my phone next to my keyboard, but alas I do not.

But I will say that the combination of the Zealios and SA is pretty damn good.

I am more inclined to try them with some OG Cherry thick ABS key caps.

[iamtootallforthis]

I really cannot wait to get my switches! I will finally be able to get my JD45 built.

Sure is.  He had this and a brown/smoke case for sale as one-offs. I'm sure he'd make more, but the cost for the colored acrylic is $15 more than his standard clear acrylic.

Oops. I spilled some into my light box ... with some keycaps, switch stickers and a cable... what a mess

Ditto on the Binge-less.

Regardless, these seem awesome (patiently waiting for the Mira).

Thanks for the hard work Zeal!

It's going to be plate mounted just waiting on a plate that should be coming in this weekend. These switches are glorious, Zeal!

I'm gonna plate mount them too. Do you have a recommended clipper to clip those prongs? Me first time

You don't actually need to clip the switches to plate mount.

Wow that looks great :D

Is that the matte black acrylic top? How does it feel if so.

Can't decide between that or the opaque one yet which I think is shiny.

But my PCB only has one hole

I've always used wire clippers.  Anything that can cut flush against the bottom of the switch should work.

flush cutters or even nail clippers would probably work fine.

Oh my bad, didn't occur to me that you'd be soldering to a prebuilt board. Like the others said, you don't really need anything special.

hi bro. have u seen ur email. please reply me. thanks

[Zeal]

Shipped 25 boxes today, and back to packing more. If you received your DHL notification before 5pm PST and live in USA, delivery tomorrow.

[asgeirtj]

Just received mine today.  First impression: 65g are the golden weight for a typing board I think, really feel like a 62g regular.  Lubing is not as required as before but I think it still does wonders to do it though I think.  I soldered a 65g board today pretty impressed with it but will definitely lube my next build.  62g's felt pretty light, definitely lighter than regular 62g's.  I will put these or 60g or 55g on my gaming/spamming board over the weekend. 

[KaminKevCrew]

Thanks @Zeal for not only sending the switches, but also for concatenating my two orders together, despite the fact that they were separated by about 400 other orders, and refunding me shipping for one of the orders. That's awesome! Again, thanks very much!!!

You're lucky I accidentally checked your profile and saw you had two orders far apart. I usually just work down the order list! In the future (for everyone else), please notify me if you'd like to combine orders, thanks.

The Zealios have a nice underglow effect when used on a b.face, or other keyboard with case lighting. This is caused by the transparent post on the switch bottoms.

Did you get your other leds installed?

Nope, I do not think I am going to install in switch leds.

Yeaah, I had mine open again to fix my F12 (don't speed solder kids) and contemplated soldering in the LEDs and said screw it.

The under light on your board looks good though.

Shipping notification received! HYPE!

[ika]

That underlighting looks great, but I'm afraid it would taint in-switch LED colors, forcing you to use a complementary color scheme. I hadn't considered that. Would switch stickers help block some of the light? I have a b.87 with the same plate scheme except opaque top and I was planning on using SIP sockets, but maybe I'll just use white LEDs. Hmm.

Also Zeal, I wanted to mention, the tracking notification isn't linked to the shopify shipping notification. In the Zeal store email, it has my order # as the tracking number, then links to a google search of that number. Not sure if that is intentional.

EDIT: 25 minutes later this is fixed. Thanks Zeal!


edit2: turns out this was a mistake re: zeal's reply. oh well

Question.
I'm getting a B.face some time next month. How do I get the RGB LEDs like that? Or are those just the LED covers?

The RGB leds are mounted to the pcb and light the case up. What you are seeing is the zealios get lit up by the case lights.

Dude, I haven't had to print out three copies of commercial invoices in forever. Why doesn't Brazil do "paperless trade" The shipping procedure was also a bit different from what I am used to, and was definitely an interesting first experience.

My bad. I just checked your order and I pasted your order # by accident (I copy that when I fill out the customs form). I copy and paste the tracking number once the label is made, but I guess i failed to ctrl c properly that time. I've updated your tracking number on my end, and it should directly link to DHL with the progress of your shipment.
