I have both and I much prefer the T1s. Something about the T1 just feels much snappier than the zealios and it's the closest thing I'll get to sharp tactility. I was looking for something as tactile as box tactiles like box jades but minus the click and everything so far has been mushy or the tactility can barely be felt. The T1s has been my daily driver for months now and it's not a bad pick especially for the price; but the caveat is the insane spring ping and scratchiness. These switches can feel really scratchy and sound horrible if you don't lube them or even lube them correctly. Had to essentially drown my springs in 205g0 to eliminate some of the ping on some switches. Could've been the batch I got were just inconsistent but the T1s really shine if you're willing to put in the effort.

i believe if you use tribosis 3203 and dont lube the legs, the tactile experience would be significantly better since tribosis was made for tactiles and lubing hte legs removes a bit of tactility you would be looking for in a switch like zealios and t1. (also bag or hand lubing the springs wouldnt hurt)

ive always been under the impression that you do not lube the legs and leaf on tactiles. do you feel like you lost any tactility when lubing those?

Yes, you generally don't lube them - but if they are extremely tactile like these switches here, the sacrifice of tactility for smoothness is viable option. There's definitely lost tactility as mentioned in the video, but it makes the switches more comfortable to use and sound much better.

To me, the bump looks and feels the same shape and size, and stem swapping them confirms, I think it's mostly that the T1s have a stiffer leaf spring (don't try to actually stem swap those though, the T1 housing doesn't really have the room for the panda stem)

They where scratchy as all hell, the actuation force felt to weak for my own liking and they sounded (stock) terrible, even lubed they weren't close to what I had imagined!
