FINALLY!!! Finally there is a person who made a descriptive review of all the zeal switches and now I dont have to waste tens of hours of research and testing. 12/10 vid, helped me ALOT!!!

Hey this video was great but if I can recommend, please put some titles to help guide the viewer. I got a little lost when you moved from switch to switch, especially as a beginner. I think it’d help if you introduced each key formally and showed a title of each switch you’re talking about

Tactile: Zealios Linear: Tealios Silent Tactile: Zilents Silent Linear (colour variation): Healios (orange), Rosérios (pink), Sakurios (more pink) I believe all switches have 62g, 65g, 67g, 78g variations, CMIIW.

How are you not at a million subs??? I love your content so much!

I can’t get enough of these videos man. This is like a secret little niche within the electronics, pc gaming, and desktop setup world, and I’m so glad to be a part of it. I’ve always wanted to customize the shit out of everything I get, and thanks to this channel, I can do that!

I just left a comment on the last video about this very subject and those switches. this is nutty. Thanks, Boss!

Blown away by the content. Stylish, concise, dense with information. So much info, I felt like I watched a Naval Ravikant vid. Subscribed!

Here’s a tip for new people that are falling into this rabbit hole. Sound of keyboard is not solely dependant on switches. It depends on mounting plate, case, switches. Different material can sound a lot different with the same switches. Edit: and keycaps.

Best switches out on the market. Love the smoothness of zeal’s. Great review as you covered everything we needed to know.

a while ago i complained about the loss of your old epic vids, which were great entertainment, got to say, your back with the right kind of humour. keep it up, love it

You look like you could work for an LA biker gang, and it's hilarious to see you talk about keyboards. Great content.

Wow I'm literally in the process of trying to decide what Zealio switch I want. Perfectly timed video!

It’s like Brian predicts exactly what content I am going to want to watch 6 months in advance. Once I get to a point where I have a hot swap board and I’m wondering about Zeal switches...boom, go back 6 months and there is my video answer :)

Geez who would have thought slowly panning over piles of mechanical switches could be so satisfying. Loving this channel.

I'm a simple man. I see BadSeed Tech new upload, I click.

I was about to order some switches til I saw this. Thank you, you answered my questions I was asking myself. Looking forward to the extra vids! Keep it up dude!

Honestly, Zeal just makes quality products. The Zeal Zephyr is endgame for me; and I've fallen in love with my Drop Alt High Profile after snipping and installing lubed Zealious V2 67g (I was using Box Whites previously). I was a clicky addict, blues, greens, anything loud and obnoxious, but the Zealious were the first tactile switch that totally changed my mind. Not only do my Gateron Blue and Greens feel silly by comparison, but the quality of this switch makes it difficult to use anything else. I ordered another set from Drop just to have another 70 on hand for future custom builds. Support the channel by ordering these using the affiliate links, because not only will you be helping BST, but you'll be helping yourself by getting to use these amazing switches. I cannot recommend them enough.

Everytime i search for an more in Depth review, be it mice, Keyboards or Headsets. I always find one of your great reviews. You really know the tech Scene. Its cool to see someone Picking up all These quite niche Topics and bringing them onto one channel. Great Job !

The fact that this channel doesn’t have more subs is astonishing to me best tech reviews out there because they aren’t bought out by the sponsor and he answers all the questions you’d ever want to ask

Loving your content my man. Just found you like a month or so ago, but you've quickly become one of my favorite YTers

This was exactly what I needed; short but clear explanation and showcase of the differences. Great job!

Returned an ALT hp from amazon to get KBDfans DZ65RGB so I don't have to clip my new Zv2s. Thanks for the level of detail you put into your vids. Your one of the biggest helps in my new kb addiction! 😳

Been looking for a quality vid about these particular switches in which i'm not familiar with. nothing but prosperous channel for you, man!

The 256-dialup tone is a nice touch. cracking video as always mate!

I really like this video! Due to severe arthritis I have major problems finding a good switch for my Keyboard... But the 78g Zealios V2 and Zilents V2 just were a perfect match for me... Previously I used Gateron Greens since the clicky feeling was always really satisfying... Unfortunately Zeal doesn't have clicky switches with high actuation force or bottom out force yet... I would love to see something like that from them...

I’ve had my zealios V2 67g for about 2 weeks now and love them so so much more than I ever thought I would. Can’t recommend them enough. Also lubed them up and it’s simply amazing.

i fell out of my chair laughing with that "Dial Up" sfx

The sound on the Zilents is a thing of beauty.

Older video I know, but this just came up for me as I was looking into Zeal switches 😀 I just bought a bunch of Roselio switches after trying them at LTX. They had the keyboard area where you could try out a bunch of different switches (I'm sure you saw it!) and after testing them all out I liked the feel of those the most. Hopefully it's a nice upgrade compared to the Cherry brown/reds I've used for the last 15 years!

Perfect timing for this man. Was researching zeal switches late last night, and there's just not any good reviews for most of them. Since you like the damper feel of the zilents something you could also check out would be methods of dampening switch travel: zeal silencing clips, orings (like glorious orings), and soft land pads. Orings particularly are under rated Imo, you can run single thins, single thicks, double singles, thicks+thins and completely change the feel and sound of a key. I've also been looking at zeal silencing clips but they're $45 for what might just be a fancy oring.

Zealios V2's are Kreygasm

Dude you are doing your ALT mods just as I'm doing mine, and it couldn't be more perfect. Really looking forward to the stab mods since I have mine right here.

I am going through your keyboard back catalog and this is a great video, I appreciate something geared toward newbies. Also, my wife hates you because now I have a new hobby and your channel is feeding me so much quality info about mech keyboards. She ends up having to hear about it lol

Transparency is what i look for in good channel. That's why i always insta like. Just bought the Zowie s1 because of you.

wow this video was exactly what i was looking for. love your voice and your video was the most informative of all the ones i've watched.

I am a long-time fan of mechanical keyboards, switches, and keycaps, and wow, - was this review ever good. I didn't expect to learn anything, but I did. I have been ignoring these switches for years, as I assumed the 67 grams force was actuation, not the bottom-out. Hmm, now those linears are looking pretty good. As an MX Red fan, these might just be right up my alley.

Ur voice makes me feel like im a part of this community even tho I just got into this yesterday

if you have a leatherman you can use the pliers to twist and pull the stems off. much more controlled and safer than flying bits of plastic going into your eye

I just ordered an entire build for as 60% with the tealios 67g and then maybe an hour or so later you drop this video. All the more hyped. I was actually between the tealios and roselios but i opted for the tealios for 2 reasons. 1. I did want silent but I also didn't want it completely silent because having some sound is nice when you're just typing. and 2. my keycap set and cable is turquoise and black/grey so to have my switch colour match my keycaps is literal end game material haha. Awesome video though! maybe in the future I'll opt for some roselios or something else if i wanted to switch it up since i got a hot swap build.

Nice breakdown. I’m new to the community and so I’m soaking up new info like a sponge. I put some 65g zilents into a mass drop CTRL I bought bare bones. I love the feel just before the tactile switch breaks. I’m tempted to lube the switches, but currently in the middle of experimenting with different keycap profiles to see how they sound and feel.

62g 👌

Thank you!! So thorough and great editing. I’ve been trying to decide between Zilents, Sakurios, and Roselios but I just couldn’t find anything of what I was looking for.

I don't know what i love more, the switches or that t-shirt

2 minutes In and I love this guy

I really appreciate your thoroughness here. Thanks for the quality content!

Zealios 62g user here. They are awesome! Thanks for the Great informative video

I just bought a set of 67g Zilents to replace the Halo Clears on my ALT because my boyfriend keeps telling me I'm too loud. He probably won't enjoy hearing me clip all those legs off, but after that I hope it's a good compromise. Nice to know they're good quality, and they sound great in the video. I bought replacement stabs from Zeal and they included a little candy bar in the box, so I kinda have a soft spot for them already, lol.

Yooo super hyped for the new Finalmouse review 👍 Also, I might pick up some of the Helios switches... those are pretty darn quiet.

Also I really can't wait for the stab modifications you do for the Alt/ Cntrl. I was trying to fool around with it but couldn't get them out lol

I saw the drop and was waiting for your review, and bang, never disappointed 🔥🔥🔥

I have Zealios V2 65g for my Rama Works Koyu and they're the best tactile switches by far out of the ones I got to test from Novel Keys. Yes, they are pricey (the community calls it the Zeal Tax), but more tactile than Holy Panda. Zilent are also much more tactile than the Aliaz switches as well. I recommend lubing the springs at least as they do feel a bit scratchy. It's also worth pointing out that for $41 or so you can get a 25 key switch tester from Novel Keys and pick all of Zeal's switches in every possible weight, as well as other kinds to boot. That makes a lot more sense than paying $25 for one of each from Zeal.

the first 5 seconds relates so much to me I liked the video immidiately

TIL that silent switches are real. Will be doing some more directed research now. Thanks for a another great video Brian!

Love to see more coverage of custom keyboard stuff! Awesome video!

Finally got my Zeal switch tester. Man, they really feel nice. The silent switches are amazing

I ordered a set of zilent v2 67g for my work keyboard about a month ago. Hands down the best switches I've tried up to this point. If you want a switch with good tactility and is silent I can't think of a better choice. The normal zealios v2 67g are fantastic as well.

Useful stuff thanks for the video

The thing about using them with different weighted springs as you said towards the pinkys is that it will sound slightly different no matter what anybody says and the feel will be very incomsistent as the bump gets less rounded the higher you get in weight now you could lube them all that would help but I still wouldnt do what you suggested because of the completely inconsistent feel it would get to you more then you think it would lol I will say use these in a cherry housong and boy oh boy is it about the perfect keyswitch idk why but it is haha great videp eother way I wasnt ragging on anything you said I was just pointing out what it would be like thqnks for the info as alway

Love your enthusiast keyboard content. Keep it coming!

04:12 you monster. What have you done?! This keyboard world is deep waters and you just added a friggin trench

The switches are great, but that Alk3 shirt is ever better.

Love the shirt. They're one of my favorite bands.

you're the fuckin best man! you and BT are killing it!

Nice review to zeal pc switches! I really love my 67g zealios v2

Best series ever!!!! Thank you for the great content Brian.

Just subbed because this helped me so much thank you.

It would be cool if you could rent full tester boards with exotic switches and return it within a specific time. If you don’t return it you get charged for it. My problem with traditional switch testers is that it’s hard to judge real world typing by tapping in one switch.

Yes! Love all your content, but especially the keyboard content!

My man! Rockin that Alk3 shirt! I'm happy that Matt is raking it in with blink, but I need a Trio tour soon.

Great vid, I can see this being very useful for somebody just getting into to custom Keyboards switches.

All these switches are great and they are high quality. Its all a mater of preference the it comes to tactile, liners, and silents. Just remember if you are going to build a DIY keyboard you might as well lube the switches, stabs, and makes sure you get the V2 variation of the switches.

zilents v2 62g are very nice, any other tactile feels cheap now.

U deserve so many more subs

Your video quality is so good, i love your videos, you should have way more subs for the amount of effort you put into your videos, keep up the good work

My current main build. Is a 96% with zeal zilents 62g lubed with 3204. My next built I plan on a 75% with zeal sakurios.

Thanks a lot for this video! As soon as I’m done with my gaming PC build I plan to pick up some Zilents.

Para las personas que no entienden ingles: Comprate Roselio de 67G si buscas algo de "silencio" chido, son de 5 pines (como todas las demas opciones) asi que si tienes un teclado de 3 pines (con cualquiera que compres aun que no sean Roselios) simplemente tendrias que cortar las 2 patas de plastico que tienen 1 por 1 y ya ponerselas, o si tienes mucha pereza esta la opcion de los "Panda Mechanical Switches" que son especificamente para 3 pines, son igual de buenos pero EN LO PERSONAL me quedo con los Roselio. Gracias, de nada, bye.

Great vid. Waiting for that Zeal Stab comparison with the ALT

Beautiful cinematography

zilents are great but if you don’t want to spend as much you can get aliaz ones. they’re not as tactile but are half the price and are probably the most similar in feel.

Zealio V2s are nice but can't say I'm a fan of the pricing for Tealios. They're gateron linears in the end, and Gateron Inks are definitely just as smooth as stock Tealios. Inks are still $0.75 a switch, but that's still cheaper than Zeals off of GB, where you have to pay both $1.00/switch and a surcharge. Also IMHO, even though they are both linears, the inks do sound better due to their different housing material. I'd recommend trying them out! They're on Novelkeys, but they do sell out very quickly it seems.

Alkaline Trio. CRIMSON will always be in my top 20 albums ever as far as life changing and memories.

like for the alkaline trio shirt. I went with zelios v2 67g for my kbd mk8xII custom board my travel board is the drop CTRL with holy pandas lubed with 205g0. nice vid!

If you don't already have a rock or metal band you should start one right now. That voice needs to be out there

Yesss I’ve been waiting on a switch review

VERY useful info, looking forward to understanding wtf is the difference between stabilizers

They're so colorful, I want all of them! >w>

BTW all of the Zeal PC switches (except for healios, sakurios and roselios) are being sold on Drop.com right now for $57 for a 70 pack and $87 for 110 pack

you had me at fret trimmer.

I just ordered zealios v2 like a 10-12 hiurs ago and you uploaded this video XD

Liked this video immediately, without watching, JUST based on the Alkaline Trio tee.

Tealios with light application of K205g0. Best everrrrr

Best tech channel.. AND HIS VOISE IS THE BEST..." Trailer movies "

Do the Zealios V2s have interference with cherry key caps on north facing pcbs?

In-video text (a chart even) would be extremely helpful in the future for viewers to tie-in and absorb all the differences as well as specs.

Finally taking the leap and making my own keyboard all parts from kbdfans

Very thorough!
