For Germans/Europeans: Candykeys has them in stock and it's cheaper to buy them there for us, 70 switches will cost 31,50€ + 1,80€ shipping(at least for Germans), 110 for 51,30€ total(again for Germans) and you get them now.

SisadaNo worries, I'm a big fan of both switches. Swapping out to Box Royals for my current keyboard but probably going to go for zealios (for the alphas at least) when my alt arrives.
I purchased these when they first released (not from massdrop) and they are TACTILE. definitely not for those who like a light switch but I type like a chimpanzee and these are my favorite tactile switch (so far).
How do these compare with Halo/Hakos? Before I fell in love with the Pale Blues, then the Navies, I really loved the tactility of the Halo Clears my K-Type came with. Also, looking at the force curve, I can see that there are 2 'tactile' events. Whats that about?
etatauriI found that the royal was much more tactile than the Hako clear and true. They have that initial tactile bump which feels great unless you don't want to bottom out the keys (which I do with all keys so I didn't really care to much about this). The tactile part is where all the weight is and the rest feels like a very light linear to me. I would also like to mention that these do make an audible noise if you want to avoid that. The noise is similar to a rubber dome sound in my opinion, but maybe a little louder. I bought a 25 switch tester from novel keys and it included the both of the switches. I would definitely go for the royal if you are looking to get a switch as tactile as possible without going for a clicky switch. And it is a box switch which to me is always a plus.
reagentxAlright, kudos, you got me. I like to think I'm usually pretty good about not getting trolled. But you definitely got me, and I totally fell right for it. congrats! Take an upvote for dedication to your bit.
