How is the weight of the zealios 65g vs something like gat browns? I understand the 65g is bottom out weight, not actuation weight?

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/wasd-code-zealios-mechanical-keyboard/talk/1967834 I couldn't find any good force curves that actually said which Zealio weight variant was being tested

Cozmo85A good reference, quoting https://kbdfans.cn/collections/zealios-switches/products/zealio-swtich-tactile: Tactile feeling for the different weights:
  • 62g Zealios - Smooth and light, a bit heavier than MX Browns in weight, but offer a much smoother experience with a larger "one smooth motion" tactile bump feedback when compared to MX Browns. Lightest variant Zealio.
  • 65g Zealios - Smooth, long, drawn out tactile bump in the middle. Nice cushion during bottom out.
  • 67g Zealios - Smooth, "crisp & responsive" tactile bump feeling near the top (this is due to the spring design, all Zealios share the same stem), more cushion during bottom out than 65g Zealios.
  • 78g Zealios - For those that prefer a slightly lighter MX Clear, but want a smooth and apparent tactile bump. From beginning to end, the spring is heavier than all other Zealio variants

erickongI just installed 65g zilents v2 instead of khail Browns. I haven’t tested gat browns, my understanding is that it’s the same as cherry brown... I preferred the khail browns over the cherry brown and although I’ve only used the zilents for a half hour, I really think they’re great. It feels heavier than the khails brown, definitely more than the cherry brown, but tu me it’s a good thing since the bump starts right up and then the resistance lowers before you bottom out. Couldn’t help but bottom out with cherry brown, but with the zilents, i can feel the bump and at last get a real tactile feel and hope I won’t bottom out as much as I used to. Hope this helps since zealios and zilents are supposed to have the same tactility.

linneverstopsI got some 67g Zilents and installed them in my dactyl manuform, only to find them a bit pingy. Bought some lube but I did not take the time to do it yet (it’ll be my first time). I might not use the 67g for the pinky though as it feels like it’s too much effort for me.

KikanI also have some unlubed 67g Zilents V2 but mine feels mushy. I preferred Zealios better.
