Short summary
Initially purchased during the first February sale in 2019 and are still doing just fine. These were ~1/each and are, by many reviews, the same switch as Healios, which are decent switches. There are a lot of options for linear switches at similar value, so it's up to you if "pink Healios" is what you're after.
These check the boxes for
Silent
Smooth
Not too wobbly
Other thoughts
I'm no expert on switches nor do I have the fancy graphs to describe my experience but as far as reliability goes, I have no complaints--they're still doing just fine today (typing on these). I believe these are 67g which is the actuating force most people prefer; comparing to built-in switches from a white-fox keyboard these are lot smoother. A few comments from friends and family describe these as smooth and silent which is what I wanted. If coming from other configurations (or non-mech), you might hold the key press too long or not realize it's pressed but response is easy to adjust to and is more of a preference.
Definitely a buy if this color matches your theme but other than that you can probably get the variant these were based off (Healios) if those have a lower price.
Last thing: for better or for worse, these were initially marketed as a "limited edition" but here we are, several years later, still available occasionally as a standard buy in MD. I don't personally care but worth mentioning in case prices fluctuate.
I believe the Zilents may actually be my favorite Zeal switch. These days I feel there are better tactile switches on the market, but Zeal is still an excellent choice and the Zilents offer a uniquely quiet experience while still delivering a good tactile response.
I like the lighter weight springs and they make for a great work board or for late night gaming when you don’t want to wake anyone up while you spam keys.
Zeal makes some really high quality switches, but they cost a lot more than other options with similar quality. So you'll probably be happy with these, but you likely could be just as happy for less money.
I have these switches on two keyboards now, the 62g are light and very silent while still being tactile. They also look fantastic. At this point I'm convinced they'll be the only switches I put on my boards.
Just like the description says, the Zilents are tactile and silent. As someone who loves very tactile and clicky switches, these works great on my midnight keyboard, or in the office.
I gave the Zilents to a buddy who does actually like them, so that's worth mentioning. For me, I found the silent aspect made them feel gummy or mushy. I recommend to a friend, because a friend like them more than me lol
