@@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.

“Pop sound” that’s exactly what it is. I’ve been trying to decide how to describe the sound of them and Pop is spot on. Love me some zeal pc switches but you are exactly right they are not worth $1 a switch. But if you can get them on sale like I did go for it.
Tactile and clickies sucks when you still follow cherry design. Even if zeealios is better. If you want tactile and clicky to not suck you need to get away from it not try to just do better. The clicky kailh's boxes got the right idea for example. But we can and should do even better9
I have these in a melgeek 68. I love them so much. Replaced the TTC switches that I thought I’d like but didn’t. The sound is so nice and the feel is great. Literally the only two switches I have tried but I’m hooked. Thanks for the great video and your time on this
By saying you're not into custom, I assume you're saying you prefer pre-built stuff like Razer, Corsair or those cheaper brands you can buy off of Aliexpress/Banggood/etc? Because literally any other type of keyboard bought from keyboard brands are still custom (Epomaker, KBDfans, Ducky, etc)... Like, you're not the one building it, but it's still custom built in that you choose the switches, plate, RGB or not, keycaps, etc... so it's still a custom.
@@radamstep I think he means he’s not going after keyboard parts and things like that, he’s not building or buying any keyboards. Just moving on with his life.
Banana Split switches all the way. They're so damn smooth stock 'cause of the factory lube. Mixed with an acrylic plate they just feel and sound heavenly.
I partially agree, but equal or better switches from the likes of jwk, gateron inks, etc are much cheaper, sometimes half the price, and zeal could easily decrease their prices but they're greedy and can't be asked to compete with other companies
You can draw he same parallel with keycaps though, except the greedyness is even more horrific, a x70 pack of Inks is about 50$ 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
@@dedelabinouze5110 man, your point is kinda nulled by how hard you're exaggerating. gmk sets usually range from $100-135. if its around 135, its usually because they're using new molds
Hamaji Neo made this vid at the exact right time I was about to drop $90 for some Tealios but after hearing the L Smokey Purples I had to grab them instead! Sound profile is more poppy for half the price
i have a stock keyboard i think customs is nice but would never spend so much money on a keybourd when i need new things for my setup love your vids hope you hit half a mil in the near future😁
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.
I daily drive the zealios, and these points def hold for those too. they are great once lubed and filmed and feel and sound really great. but they were def pricey and i'd try other switches before buying these again
Im pretty confident that if you want a smoothness comparable to tealios its better to get the black inks, they are also made by gateron, and are cheaper while still high end
You should do a comparison between this and a black ink and a c3 tangerine or some other linears that people consider “the best” Edit: another video idea: making the WORST switch possible (200g springs, silicon spray lube and other stuff)
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.
finally a SINCERE review on tealios. so glad I bought L5s instead (they even look better imo), sounds like the exact same switch for half the price lol
I definitely agree on them being overpriced. I know they're super nice but there are just too many others out there that give you a similar experience.
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
having owned a switch tester with both (i know thats very different from an actual keyboard with them) i honestly prefer plain gateron blacks, not inks, just blacks
Lubed Tealios V1 sounds like Blues without that actuating thing and lubed too. That was my project lately, and it ended up with not working, but really nice sounding switch :party_parrot:
If you just want a pure stock build, these are the best, but if you're gonna lube and mod, tealios will easily get outclassed by cheaper switches. They don't sound as good as other linears.
@@lava-ru5ue I'm not on discord. Any jwk or gat inks. Tealios are still good and sound good, but when you compare it to other more affordable options, when lubed and filmed, they're inferior in sound and feel the same. Not worth the hefty price tag. If you're worried about the weight, i highly recommend you to spring swap them.
@@800Thekiller Oh okay, thank you. I'm looking a lot at gateron ink reds, but I think doing a spring swap on blacks could be even better. Just because I really don't like the look of the reds. Where can I look for good springs around the ink red weight?
i feel like newer custom mech users gravitate towards zeal if they have the budget for it because it always gets pounded into your head that these expensive switches are the best you can get. i can say after using zealios, tealios, and zilents no... they are not. for the price you pay especially with zealios v2's unless you really like leaf ping are just terrible acoustic wise. jwk linears are far better and way cheaper
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.
