They are TBH, Tealios I think are a bit different because of the materials used for the Zeal housings. Other than though they are pretty much the same switches with different springs & different colored parts. Which there is nothing wrong with IMHO, but if you already have a board with Inks, Linjars, etc. these won't offer you anything new other than the stem color.

Post by: fuzzybaffy on Mon, 09 September 2019, 05:25:33: So, to the people who already own these switches, how do they compare to the popular linears (Gateron Inks, Tealios, etc., if you own those, that is)?
Title: Re: [IC] Giant Switch -- 62g Linear switch made by Gateron（GB on: Sep 15）
Post by: Surefoot on Mon, 09 September 2019, 06:33:25: The textured housing can be felt if not lubed, which is.. different (not exactly scratchy). They sound excellent.

They're definitely not as smooth as Tealios or Inks. Out of 90, 4 of mine are extremely scratchy to a point that lube can't fix them. The others are very nice with 205g0 and I would still buy more despite the oddball few. These have a very nice sound profile. Kinda muted and bassy.

They are not exactly the same. Comparing the price and feeling, I think Giant is my favorite one.

PS: I didn't look at this thread for weeks because I assumed it was an IC for another (literally) giant switch like those sold by Novelkeys in the past (and present). I doubt that I was the only one who overlooked this thread for that reason. And I suggest you change the title to avoid this issue.
