Project Zealio - 62g/65g/67g Purple "MX Clear" Switch in transparent housing

[VesperSAINT]

So,  like,  Zeal,  I need these. I need a lot of these. Just saying.

This goes too well with your avatar, mane...

[FrostyToast]

Maximum overhype.

[jbondeson]

Welp, no more switch buying for a while.

What kind of manufacturing timeframe are we talking?

[Sifo]

hm... send some? curious

[DrHubblePhD]

Maximum overhype.

It looks like its time to produce the ****loard

That's my asking politely face. )

It shouldn't be too long. I'm going to guess under a month, but will confirm before GB.

[cwils0n]

I wants them.

[jbondeson]

I will prepare my wallet!

I foresee several of my keyboards going under the soldering iron later this year.

[Lastpilot]

Looks perfect, I'm in for sure.

You asked for it, we delivered.

Introducing Project Zealios - 62g gold plated springs in an exclusive custom made Purple "MX Clear" stem. No ErgoBrown Gateron bull**** (cough). This is the real deal. Along with the project was a custom made transparent switch bottom housing to maximize LED lighting. Switch will be compatible with 4-pin RGB LEDs (not pictured).

so nice.. will definitely be picking up some for my hubble mira :D

Official Mira switch... I think so  :))

But seriously, when you purchase your Mira (which will likely happen over Zeal's site) consider picking up some of these as well!

Noob question time, will the mira pcb support the rgb leds that zeal is talking about?

Nope it doesnt not. They are not the same thing. Mira will only support the usual single color 2 pin LED's the ones Zeal is talking about are full color range 4 pin LEDs.

hmm okay, guess I gotta get these sip socketed then. Thanks for the info!

Zeal this is some next-level **** man

[livingspeedbump]

Well done!

I see many, many of these in my future 

[Booper]

Holy crap those are super sexy. I'm in for sure!

[livingspeedbump]

#hypetrainisapparentlytooreal

Totally going to stick these in the Mira.
The hype of these+mira may finally do me in.

[Zeal]

Holy crap those are super sexy. I'm in for sure!

Boop's purple seal of approval?

Well done!

I see many, many of these in my future 

I do too. So glad that the dream is finally becoming a reality!

Zeal this is some next-level **** man

Thanks!

I'm more of a linear guy, but these would look GREAT in the ALT 60!!!

Linear 62g variant will be the "clear" stem shown on April 1st... Both switches will be available during the pre-order/GB!

Or a JD45, really. Just because the PCB is red means nothing! )

[Joey Quinn]

Zeal I need these for my Pink 456!


That is when (if ) it arrives.

I hope your 456 is found promptly and undamaged.

[Lurch]

REH-HEH-HHEEEAAALLLLLYYYY?

I will definitely be grabbling some of these.

Nice one Zeal.

Someone needs to find a way to make transparent PCBs w/o the yellow tint from fiberglass.

it would probably be very expensive, but you could do glass.

USPS started being very helpful once I dropped the 1k insurance bomb. The board is boxed with 4-5in of foam on every side so I'm fairly sure that it'll be well protected.

Seriously though, I'm putting these switches in the board. They'll look great with the pink.

[byker]

Hmm, I do like purple. I guess I'm in for some.

I remember seeing a glass PCB somewhere with moderately transparent traces so light could shine through. IIRC it was on some eng field trip 2ish years ago.

[Blackhawk]

Ergo clears with purple stems?! Count me in 

[Karura]

GJ Zealios, knocked it right out the park!

[VinnyCordeiro]

Dang it, now I'll be forced to add support for RGB LEDs on the AUNK... And buy tons of these switches as well.

+1 for more RGB aftermarket PCB designs. I'm also in the works with a PCB designer to support 4 pin RGB LEDs.

[njbair]

These are made for Hyperfuse. On a white plasti-dipped Leeku 1800 PCB with cyan LEDs. In a gray case.

[romevi]

Whelp. Found the new switches I'll be using on my first custom.

I hear you. I'm not really buying keyboard stuff anymore, and I have to have these. Many. Many of these.

Not joking, actually.

Dell SK-8115. One at home, one at work. Pretty darn good for a rubber dome over membrane. I disassembled one for painting, and learned why I like these Dells. Slider (attached to keycap) in a channel over the rubber dome sheet. Under the domes are a pair of membranes, very much like what are in an IBM Model M.

I painted the one I use at home white. Now I just need to swap those green LEDs for blue ones.

Made new Dell thread here, so we don't derail Zeal's thread any more.

Maybe I'll dust this off and use it. (It's very tactile)

more purple.... please, my wallet can't handle this

I used to have that keyboard at work and I loved it! I didn't even know it was a really good rubberdome; I just loved using it.

Edit:
Yes! The IT guy still had a couple left. Gonna give back the ****ty wireless Logitech.

[digi]

[rowdy]

It seems that these tick all the boxes, including some boxes that didn't exist!

Are they going to be generally available for purchase after the GB?

[monotagary]

This is incredible Zeal! The hype for this is real.

[Noko]

Zeal, you are amazing.  Holy amazeballs.
Right down to the purple.  !!!!

[mbrown559]

Yes, I need these switches in my life.  Will be ordering a good amount of these when they are available.
