Title: Zeal PC Switches
Post by: Classic on Wed, 25 September 2019, 13:36:33
Has anyone tried these switches? Thinking about ordering some Blue Zilents V2 in 67G.

Looking to install these in Filco Majestouch 2.

Thank you for your time!

Big, sharp tactile bump with no pretravel. Pretty smooth, very quiet, but I would still recommend lubing them, as the springs are pretty pingy, the sound and smoothness can still be improved, and this one is more personal preference, but I like lubing the legs as the bump is a bit too sharp for my taste. Just be sure to avoid the dampening pads to avoid sticking.

Zealios V2 have a very strong but soft tactile bump, these are excellent for typing , however i wouldn't say the same for gaming as tactility is quite strong

Soft? What is that supposed to mean?

They are very tactile and it's too much for a lot of people. As an religious Zealio v1 fan I bought into v2 selling all my v1 switches and after few months of trying getting used to them I got rid of them as they were both unpleasant to type and game.
