The general consensus on these so far is that the stem is more like a Gateron Silent Brown than a Zealio or MX Clear.
Right, thats exactly what it is. Which I for one am excited about since heavy browns are pretty nice switches.
Heres the profile comparison that was posted at the bottom of that thread:Show Image(https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/af09a7f015949d671912eabbbf7f9666fa6471a2d099614e66eace81cbaccebb.jpg)
And heres the brown compared to the silent Zealios - Zilent:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/d79UBoD.jpg)
Has a feeling similar to Mx Clear switches, but smoother and better

that said but the bump is smaller than Clear, how can the feeling be similar...
hope it will not be a "re-colored silent Gateron Brown"
Why couldn't they just copy MX Clear bump like "innovative" Zealio? Bear in mind that this silencing material used in Gateron switches sticks a bit to the switch housing. Read my Gateron Silent Black review for more information.
Didn't they say they redesigned the bottom housing? The leaf could be generating a lot of tactility in these bottoms, similar to Panda switches (which is why people put Zealio stems into them for a super-tactile MX switch).

interesting. I havent had that with the silent reds that i got from KBDfans but i can see that happening. I have an issue much like that with the zelencios and my 67g gateron browns where they stick together when they sit overnight.

hoh, really? I will be looking forward to that, then ;DWhy couldn't they just copy MX Clear bump like "innovative" Zealio? Bear in mind that this silencing material used in Gateron switches sticks a bit to the switch housing. Read my Gateron Silent Black review for more information.

"overnight" ? :eek: that's worrisome...
When will this drop? Is there a way to sign up for an update when they do go live?
Eggcited to try these out!!
Yup. I ordered a pile of the 70g ones. At nearly half the price of the Zilents, i will be interested to see the differences when i have both in hand:

looks like the spring is coated in black instead of the previous gold... i hope its not a paint that can flake off:Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1473/3902/products/1_82f14163-763a-4690-b644-9cb048c189c3_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=1514033196)
Considering the stems look no different from browns, these things better have really tactile leafs to justify being 50% more expensive than the silent gat browns (as well as the comparisons to clears).

The rumor was that the bottom was redesigned to make it more tactile. I'll be curious to see how that works
has anyone received theirs? :D
the first batch should be shipped out on 1/8/2018, I think.
I've got a handful of these, don't think I'm gonna put them in a board, but they're not bad.Best case is just use the full clear housing.
nothing yet here either. I ordered on day 1 so i'm hoping i get them soon.
