@@meemattt I have both Zealios v2 and T1's and they are very similar but there is a difference on the followthrough after the bump which both start at the top. Personally I prefer the Zealios, especially because I live in Canada, so shipping for Zealios are cheaper for me because Zeal is Canadian, and once I get T1's shipped here they're about the same price at the end of the day. The T1's are VERY good, and if you can get them for a good price I'd say go for it, but there is something special about the Zealios that the T1 doesn't QUITE match.

I partially agree, but equal or better switches from the likes of jwk, gateron inks, etc are much cheaper, sometimes half the price, and zeal could easily decrease their prices but they're greedy and can't be asked to compete with other companies

You can draw he same parallel with keycaps though, except the greedyness is even more horrific, a x70 pack of Inks is about 50$ and a x70 pack of Tealios is about 70$ for about the same quality, 20$ difference, a YMDK set is about 30$ and is just as good as a GMK set which sells for about 180$, 150$ difference hahaha

By saying you're not into custom, I assume you're saying you prefer pre-built stuff like Razer, Corsair or those cheaper brands you can buy off of Aliexpress/Banggood/etc? Because literally any other type of keyboard bought from keyboard brands are still custom (Epomaker, KBDfans, Ducky, etc)... Like, you're not the one building it, but it's still custom built in that you choose the switches, plate, RGB or not, keycaps, etc... so it's still a custom.

The tealios switches are well worth the price. I bought the switch purely for the typing sound and I can say that I am very well satisfied. If you want a deep thocc tying sound then this switch is def for you. I have tried the Gateron Ink, the lavenders, the JWKs and non of them sound as clean as tealios v2. Note, the sound of the switches will depend on how much lube you put on them and the material of the keyboard. Overall I think this switch is well worth the price, it is especially good if you can get it on discount like I did.

have been using my tealios for some months now and like it alot. its totally trasnparent so RGB shows really well compared to the smokey or translucent housing of other switches. 205g0 and krytox 105 spring lubbed with tx .15 filmed its really really smooth to type on. no doubt the sounding of it is higher pitch but its so satisfying compared to deeper sounding switches which could sound "hollow" if not sound isolated well enough. that to me is worth the $1 as you can use it for a long long time, and since its so well made removing it from hotswapped board is also so much easier compared to JWK switches. To me i would say its well worth the money 100%. I have got Black Inks waiting to be build on some up coming build and will give my take on how good it is

My take is this. They're SUPER smooth...and that's about it. JWK's are MUCH cheaper and achieve about the same smoothness and sound a little nicer to my ears. Creams, Inks and MX Blacks all Sound WAY better, and are much cheaper. If your only looking for smooth then they'll satisfy your needs, but, if your on a tight budget or want something that sounds good, you'll have look somewhere else

I've had the chance to try Tealios, Ink Blacks, and Tangerines side-by-side. The Ink Blacks were the smoothest when stock and the Tealios really didn't feel like they were worth that kind of price. I've lubed the three now with 205g0 and it's harder to decide which is the smoothest, but the Tealios definitely don't feel like they're a cut above the other two. Some part of me felt as if the Tealios are slightly smoother than Inks when lubed, but the more I pay attention the harder it got to really be sure of that. It's gonna take me a while to decide which I genuinely like better, but the price of Tealios is always going to be a sticking point.

Imo they are worth it cuz they are the smoothest linears to ever grace this planet. You can argue that the sound isnt all thay great, but most of the time we're using headphones anyway. Or just use it in a more muted sounding board (eg. a rama with mute mounts installed). I've never been happier with a linear in my life. Have tried JWKs, Vints, Gat inks, Creams, and i always, always come back to the lovely Tealios. Bless you Zeal.
