Hey Zeal,

I sent a PM and a contact message through your site about my address change for the group buy. Thanks in advance.
Already handled a few days ago. :)

Is there any possibilities that someday Zealios won't do any GB anymore and straight to stock up $1 each on the web all the time?

It is a possibility.



It's almost the end of February folks, don't be one of those people that place a last minute order! :P

*places last minute order*

Kidding. I would love to try the 78g switches, but I also don't need more boards. Already loving the 67g and it might be weird going back and forth between 67g and 78g.

But will R3 a certain? Because my plan is waiting R2 come to your hand so you restock the Zealios tester pack, ordered 2 pack, lubing 1 pack of it, compared all of them and deciding, and ordered on R3. I already have one 65g purple from my friend but somehow I need to know all of the Zealios because I know this will become my end game switch :)

EDIT: And I'm still waiting you restock the spring lube so I can 'one go' all the thin thick spring lube too  ;D

I think you've answered this before, but what do you put as the value for these packages?

The reason I'm asking is if the value goes above a certain point, I will have to pay extra fees..

Quick update:

After what felt like a super long Chinese New Year Holiday, I'll finally be receiving some R2 Zealio samples very soon...:)


R2 Zealios were just shipped out today, arriving on Monday.

Will take some pictures of the different stem colous of purple, etc.

I've received a few PM's to extend the deadline of the GB and have decided to keep the GB pricing the same until I receive my full order of Zealios from Gateron sometime mid-March. The extended order acceptance date won't affect production time since I'll be placing my order shortly after March 1.

Better get dat order in doe!  :p

I hope I can be as sure as anyone else about the weight choice.. But somehow 62g will be the choice since I use MX Reds and I'm loving it but it feels too light from day to day and the linearity starting to kill me lol.

I'm not 100% sure either but the blues I'm using now are too light, and I type pretty heavy so I just went 78g (was stuck between that and 67g like alot of folks). I think if you like reds you'll like the 62s...similar bottom out force with the tactile feel you're probably missing.

I don't have any 72g, but have 78g. If it's just 5x for spacebars, I'm fine with that.

67g linear are still in stock and available for immediate shipment on my store.

So I am building a custom split layout keyboard, and was originaly going to use MX blacks on hand, but after some time with browns, I found I liked them better.
I feel I want it to be heavier than browns though, but not as heavy as the grey in the spacebar.
They will be plate mounted, and hand wired.

What switches should I get?
And when is the group buy over, because im not sure ill have the money by march first, I need like a week.

The pricing will revert to retail price once I receive my shipment from Gateron around mid-march.

65g/67g Zealio would probably suit your liking.

OK, great thanks, ill probably be ordering switches soon.
Then i can finaly make my dream keyboard.

I had basically my dream keyboard before, Apple Adjustable Keyboard.
Nice tactile switches, good amount of force (heavier than browns, not too heavy), split layout, large wrist wrest.
Unfortunatly the Alps SKFS switches used in it are prone to failure, and now some switches dont work all the time. I have had to retire it and go on a regular layout.

But now, my dream keyboard will be relized again!

I'm using unlubed broken in ergo clears right now which I like very much.  What spring weight should I get?  I'm guessing 62g.

67g have the unlubed 62g ergo clear feel (in terms of tactile bump duration). However 65g has been very popular for Zealios.

Heh, I finally caved in. Ordered a couple of 65g's.  :)
As to our discussion earlier, I just decided that 60 switches would be sufficient as I have something else planned. :D
Hopefully, not much of a headache for you :-\ and of course, looking forward to the pictures when you receive your switches!

I see that you're sold out on the GH V3 Thick Lube.

Will you have it back in stock before the Zealios ship out?

Working on getting another batch in, but unlikely they'd arrive in time.

Is it the same formula as the ones in techkeys?

Roughly the same. The formula is always being tweaked by Geekhackers.

Will be a while before I will put them on a board.
Is it worth lubing them meanwhile?

Aiming to start shipping around the end of March. No issues with shipping to Hawaii via DHL, it just takes 2 days instead of overnight.

I would say yes, definitely. Lubed Zealios are just...(I'm lacking words to describe the feeling...)...so good.

I'm just making sure I get what lube you recommended (the one on zealpc of course but the thick and spring are sold out). Cause this should be my end game MX type switch.

What's the difference on the opened R1 R2 pic? Seems like I'm too noob to see the difference :p

i have a bit of a noob question... but if i want my zeal switches (67g with 78g space/backspace/return) to have the ultimate "ca-thump" feel, should I be picking up the foam pad stickers on massdrop? I already have some rubber 50A o-rings waiting to go with them as well. For what its worth, i'm building a Sentraq S60-X

The Sentraq S60-X has a plate, and those brackets (according to the description) are not compatible with plate mounted switches.

Those GMK QMX clips only work on PCB mounted keyboards. So any keyboard with a plate will not be compatible with the QMX Clips. I am developing something similar that can support plate mounted keyboards though. Stay tuned.  :thumb:
