I've been looking for a TKL with 67g Zealios, and found one for sale online with lubed MX Clears w/ 62g springs (Ergo Clears?). I'm not too familiar with that mod and was wondering if anyone would know how they compare to 67g Zealios in terms of feel. I've tried 62g Zealios and found that they were too light for me, but am wondering if the MX Clears would be any different.

Thanks!

it's the same spring weight
if you didn't like the 62g zealios I suggest you pass and just try to look for one with 67g, or just do the mod yourself :rolleyes:

You'll want something heavier. 67g is not significantly heavier than 62g.

Hi guys, just some question...why a lot of people are interested of Zealios? I read a lot of people talking about 62 gr spring and something...but isnt too hard to press? Or labor/tire for work?
I usually write on brown switch (35 gr) and almost double weight I think is too much. Different feeling?

the 62g refers to the bottom out force, not the actuation force... whereas the 35/45g is referring to actuation force - so in comparison, the 62g spring weight will be just slightly more heavier than a stock cherry mx brown switch

these springs have +/- 5 grams of force.

Especially the more used ones lose 5 grams,  like E ..

hmm, i'd also say the stem is a bit smoother and housing differs slightly as well
of course it's not going to be exactly the same but I guess people would consider zealios a 'refined ergo-clear'?
so yeah essentially it's just a mod for feeling

the stem and housing are significantly smoother to the point where a stock mx clear and a zealio modded with a stock mx clear spring feel like two entirely different switches
Let's get this straight. There is nothing cool about keyboards we're all lame as fk.
