I think for a while the latter was true. People got on the Zealio hype train SUPER HARD, but I think the sheer amount of linear options Gateron offered were what made them a leading competitor. Their quality helped them push past the initial bad rep that Kailh got laid with.
I haven't tried Gaterons myself because I don't like linear switches, but the Kailh blue and browns I tried, I really liked.

Props to my dude at the end with the ALPS! :))
Cool concept for the video. I love hearing all the different ways people pronounce Topre too.
