Thanks for the shipping updates Zeal. It is nice to see how far along things are and able to estimate when mine will probably ship (prob in a week or so since I am 3269).

Shipping confirmation for #2971 received.   :D

Nothing here yet with #2940, either orders are not processed in sequence or mine comes later because it's international.. either way, I'm not in a hurry. Take your time, everyone.

Your email actually bounced when I sent out the shipping notifications. Might want to get that checked. :) Your order was shipped today as well.

That's weird... I'm using a gTLD for email but we've corresponded before using my email address.. I'll PM you a different address.

Mine just came in today and I must say I'm impressed with these Zealio switches.  This is the smoothest switch I've ever felt.  Far better than my Gateron browns.

Are there any more 78g switches available? I've changed my build plan since i placed my order and need 20 more. My order hasn't shipped yet so can I combine shipping?

Yep, just place your order and add an order note to combine with your other order. I'll refund your shipping.

Question: Is it $1 each or $1 for 10 or what exactly?

Also, should I get the PCB or Plate mount 65g. I dont really have any pcb keyboards. looking to get an FC660 with cherries and swap it out, but can you let me know what's ideal for those, or pok3rs or KBP or other common boards..


Thanks!

Zealios are now $1/switch. Both 65g PCB or Plate mounted 65g Zealios will work with your FC660M since the PCB has the extra 2 holes for the PCB mount pins. Same applies for KBP, Pok3r, etc.

Ok thanks!

What about the Varmilo VB660M. Just like the Leopold but has lighting under plus bluetooth.

Will the lighting still work using these switches. Or the VB87M I just ordered off massdrop

And since the PCB has two extra pins, would that be a problem for plate mounted keyboards like what I mentioned, including either the FC600M or the VB660M?
Especially the VB87M I just ordered off MassDrop. Can I install the PCB 65s or would it be smarter to get the milky bottoms?

Thanks!

You can just clip the PCB mount stabs off and mount.

I guess this means mine is shipping soon. Too bad roostrc0gburn's GB is a few months out from bearing fruit...
Someone apparently went up to the great philosopher Wittgenstein and said "What a lot of morons people back in the Middle Ages must have been to have looked, every morning, at the dawn and to have thought what they were seeing was the Sun going around the Earth, when every school kid knows that the Earth goes around the Sun", to which Wittgenstein replied "Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the Sun had been going around the Earth?"

Not sure if you saw where I tagged you on reddit, zeal, but someone compared 78gs to the 67gs and found the 78gs to be lighter. The actuation force seems to be lower? Interesting, I wonder why.

62g SPRiT lubed Ergoclears are growing on me. Depending on the time of day, they are usually too light or just right. I imagine 65g Zealios will be my Goldilocks :D.

I'm waiting on the next drop for this exact colour to complete my first build. It's $124.99 + shipping at it's lowest price.
I got in contact with Datamancer and they said you can ask them to not cut a hole for the dip switch (for custom boards like the GH60 which only has a bootload button on the back).

got mine yesterday and outfitted my teamwolf keyboard with them.  65g versions everywhere except escape and space, 78g on escape and space.  honestly, i'm not liking them nearly as much as i was expecting to.  they feel lighter than browns, which is not what i was looking for.  the 78g ones feel closer to what i was expecting, and i'm actually really liking those two.  maybe next time i should just grab a full set of those.  my keyboard with clears is currently at work.  on monday i'll have to do some comparison testing between this and that.

also, i'll probably end up putting my eight additional 78gs somewhere else on this keyboard.

I mean this with no disrespect intended, but it seems like you.misunderstood what Zealios were. They're an Ergo Clear or even a touch lighter than that. Even the 78g Zealios don't match up with the bottom out force of an MX Clear (95g).

You could always swap springs. Order a bag of 78s or 80s and make them all uniform. The slider color doesn't matter.

Hi Zeal, this post has me a worried that I will also be disappointed with the 65g. Would it be possible to change my order to 78g switches? I sent an email concerning this.

Thanks.

Strange. I already got mine at #3351. But it is untracked, so maybe he is waiting for tracking confirmation on tracked orders.
