But I also don't like to needlessly drag on fulfillment. No one wants to be left waiting months...

Got mine in the mail yesterday.

Ordered mine at the end of the GB, so it was only 2 weeks from ordering to being in my hands. You're an absolute monster, Zeal.  :eek:

Now to order the board I want to put them in.

That sucks, maybe Zeal knows if this has any impact on the switch.

If he does not respond before my package arrives I'll report on the condition of my switches. I think he will respond before me though since I don't expect to recieve it before Tuesday because of customs etc.

Got  mine in the mail yesterday.  Thanks Zeal for the quick turnaround.

I'm surprised how smooth and prominent the tactile bump is on the 78g switch.   It's been a while since I used another cherry switch, but my gut tells me its even more pronounced than MX clears.

As an Alps fan, I think I am really going to enjoy these switches.

I'm sure everyone would like to see some evidence of defective switches. Your post only eluded to you being afraid to solder them. Saying Zeal "doesn't care" isn't going to help anything.

Received mine today!  :thumb: Smooth and fast GB as always. Thanks Zeal!

I had major chattering issues with the R1 batch and told myself to use MX Clears in my next  board. After experimenting with different springs, lubes, top housing etc. I came to realize that Zealios are far too superior. So the last day of the GB I ordered 65g and I couldn't be happier. Only objection I have is that the stems wobble a bit. It is most noticeable with SA profile caps.

As soon as I saw the post above I checked my newly arrived Zealios and can confirm this pin was a little bit loose. I then compared with my R1 65g Zealio left-overs. They had the same issue. Having said that, I think you just have to try to solder them and see if any of the switches are malfunctioning, i.e. chattering etc.

In my humble opinion I do not think the loose pin has any affect on the switch. Cause of chattering issues with R1 was clearly identified and documented here: http://imgur.com/a/dLD6I

My chattering issues were caused by bad soldering experience so since the R1 pin is also loose, it probably does not compromise the functionality of the switch. Unless yours are far more loose than my R1 and R2 65g Zealios.  :)

Ill attach a multi meter to the contact legs and see if I can get them to actuate by wiggling the leg later when I get home.

If I really didn't care about the product or my customers, I wouldn't be on IRC answering questions outside of regular business hours, nor would I be packing well overtime to get everyone's order out in a timely manner. Many other GBs take months to ship for orders way less than what I received. it's not really fair for you to word it that way when I've clearly explained to you on IRC that it is a non-issue.
The switch top holds the fatter/thicker contact leg in place, and this prevents it from "popping out" or moving out of place. If you pull out the stem and spring and re-assemble the top back on, you can observe how it's held in, in the top left corner by the switch top's plastic. At the same time, you can remove the top, press the stem down half way, but not past the tactile bump so it's in its resting position as if the switch top were on and see the distance between the two gold contacts. You can try and wiggle the thicker leg but it won't touch the other contact.

A little bit of wiggle room is required during the assembly process or you're going to end up with a bunch of switches without contact legs (aka crushed inside the housing). It's unavoidable and holds true for all Gateron switches (for both contact legs). Some may seem more noticeable than others due to tolerances and different plastic properties. The legs aren't pierce through the plastic housing, they're slotted into a pre-existing hole at a high speed.

The refund policy has always been listed at checkout, and hasn't changed since Oct '14. Due to the nature of the product and business (switches, switch modding parts, etc), I cannot be offering refunds left and right for random reasons that customers bring up. Being afraid to use them shouldn't be a valid reason for a refund.

Got my order yesterday -- I ordered post GB but with the pre-order pricing after messaging Zeal on reddit to ask some questions (which he was very helpful about).

I ordered about half 65g and half 78g -- really impressed with the switches so far. They're really smooth and just about the right level of tactile for me. That said, I'm surprised how hard it is for me to tell the difference between the two switches. I would have thought there would be a fairly noticeable difference in terms of firmness between the two, but they actually feel very similar (although I *think* I can sometimes tell the difference when I push them very slowly). Has anyone else had this experience? Fairly sure I'm just too used to my Black switches lately to have a good feel for tactile switches, but I'm a little paranoid that these feel so similar to me...

Anyone have any tips for reliably telling the switches apart (other than opening them and looking at the springs)? I think I may have gotten a couple mixed up and I want to make sure I get them organized appropriately.

Anyways, can't wait to use these in a build, current plan is to save them for the VE.A!

IIRC the shade of purple gets darker the harder the switch is.

78g is an interesting weight since the spring is short with wider coils, very similar to 65g's. First half of the travel is light, hence the similarities. It's the bottom out that sets them apart. If you had gotten 65g/67gs, the bump would've been very noticeably different. I guess you can think of 78gs as 65gs with more cushion at the bottom.

65g and 78g stems are very easy to tell apart the difference. Darker one is 78g, 65g is the lighter one.

That description makes a lot of sense to me, I think I just barely prefer the 78g, but it's a subtle difference. I always bottom out though, so once I've set it up on a whole board it will probably be more noticeable. In some ways, the similarities are actually kinda nice because my intention is to use a combination of 65g/78g on a single board. I actually ordered the switch tester pack, and the 67g definitely feels pretty different from the other switches -- maybe I'll get a set of them in a future GB!

Thanks for the tip on the stem color. Not sure how I didn't notice last night, but it's a lot easier way to tell the difference than trying to press them side by a side a billion times :D

DHL is 2 day delivery service to EU with tracking. Canada Post can take 6-10 days for untracked delivery.
You shouldn't be getting charged customs on your parcels.

nothing to worry about, once you have it properly seated for soldering it'll be stuck anyway right?
won't affect feel or anything at all whatsoever. slightly different method of manufacturing.

still a better switch than Cherry ;)

So I read on the Keychatter review that 67g feels better unlubed. What is the general consensus on this? I really like how they feel in my switch tester and honestly the only thing I can imagine lube doing to them is reducing the tactility, which feels perfect at the moment.

The wiggle is only there when you have the switch free from it's PCB.  Once you solder it in, there's no more wiggle and the switch is firm and tight.

Always remember that every switch will act differently when not installed into it's PCB, so no need to go all "girlie" about it "wiggling"  ;D .

Using one switch to lube shouldn't be a big issue.  IF you're tight on the number of switches and feel that it's not 100% to your liking you can delegate the lubed switch to spacebar.  In the end we can't tell you that unlubed is better.  I prefer a greased up 67g over out of the box 67g.  Actually I prefer lubed vs unlubed in all variants.

DHL or Canada post? Also, when did you recieve your shipping confirmation (if it was Canada Post)? I'm just trying to figure out when it will probably arrive so someone is home to accept it.

They were sent on April 5th via Canada Post and arrived on April 14th.

Thank you, seems like I can expect them on Tuesday or Wednesday then.

Anyone from UK get hit by customs or have to pay any additional fees? How long did it take from the shipping notification until you received it?

As I said in an earlier post, shipping notification on Monday, at my door on Wednesday. No additional charges.

Did it cost more to post DHL instead of Canada Post?

For me it was Canada Post $10 vs. DHL $30.

$30 for DHL to EU, can order up to 400g (roughly 200x switches). $35 for 201-400ish switches.
$10 for Canada Post, can order up to 250g of switches (roughly 120x switches). Anything over this will become DHL shipping only.

Will there be extras available for sale at your website, Zeal? I bought some 62g switches with the group buy but my plans changed and I need about 20 more for a build.

After spending about a week with them, I actually quite like the 78gs as a gaming/mixed use switch. The softish actuation and quick spring-back is great for spamming keys while still retaining tactility. :thumb:

#2840 was shipped to a USA address, not Netherlands.

I'm pretty much out of 62g's. Only 8 left, but those are just going to be used for sampler packs.
