Not trying to be a **** here but I'm really struggling to see what the value is in these switches apart from being a different colour? (which I realise is more than enough for a lot of people). From reading the thread my understanding is as follows, please correct anywhere I'm wrong:
Housing - Stock gateron
Stem - Supposedly the same as tealio which is apparently the same as stock gateron linears? I haven't tried tealios but I assumed the stem would be slightly different/tuned and Zeal would own the mould and therefore have exclusivity over its use, in the same way as Zealios. It would make sense to me however if the tealio stem is the same as a stock gateron linears as gat linears are pretty great imo.
Spring - Seemingly the only difference, custom gold
So if one doesn't care about colour, surely the sensible choice would be to buy some gat blacks or other linear colour and some gold springs?
