Much of this hobby is personal prefrence. I like these a lot. I got the MOD-M (Tactile) a very good alternative to Zealios. These have pcb mount housing, depending on the pcb of the board they might be too tight, a solution might be to clip them.
When I tried to install these switches in my GH60 PCB, the fit was extremely tight, such that it was very hard to press the switches into my PCB. I did not have this same problem with Cherry MX switches. Now for some reason (perhaps I over-stressed the PCB when installing the switches), the entire circuit board is balky. When I plug my keyboard in, it works for a little while, but the instant I press the Macro key to get to my extended keys or try to type my password at a password prompt, the keyboard locks up and has to be unplugged and swapped for a working keyboard.
This is not my first build, nor am I unfamiliar with working with electronics. I have an exact duplicate of this keyboard with everything the same except that I used Cherry MX switches and that keyboard works correctly. I scratched my head pretty long and hard trying to debug this one, but alas I believe it is for naught as I will have to scrap this PCB and start over with a new one.
The switches, have an exceptionally nice feel to the touch, so I'm very sad that I cannot get this to work.
