Figure 1: Zeal's own photo of the first production bags of Zealios switches... I’m guessing that a good number of you reading this article right now clicked on with some sincere degree of confusion from the title. There can’t possibly be any way that ThereminGoat – the guy who has personally tried over 3,000 different switches – is claiming that there won’t ever be another switch like the Zealios, of all things. (I’m sure a few of you are further listing off at least a dozen other medium-heavy tactiles that you can think of that are close enough to Zealios on top of this, too.) While you would be right in calling me out for saying something of the sort about Zealios, the switches, what I’m talking about here is something bigger and more impactful – Project Zealio, a.k.a. the initial groupbuy announcement and ‘Round 1’ release of Zealios switches. I’m here to argue that not only did Project Zealio fundamentally changed the way that the mechanical keyboard community thought...

So in my previous write-up, while highlighting the benefits of alternative and custom layouts, I declared without much evidence that QWERTY is not that bad at all, and also that it is in the top 2% of all the possible layouts. Well, like so many times in life: it depends. I did my original research many years ago - the exact value was in fact 1.82% -, but I forgot to mention that this is only valid in a special case: using my personal corpus and ruleset. It makes sense since back in the day I did this to support the design process of my own custom keymaps. Anyway, it was high time to redo my original experiment, dive in this topic a bit deeper, and reveal the logic and method behind my calculations. Spoiler alert: I was wrong! Or was I? ;) QWERTY Everyone knows QWERTY I guess. Christopher Sholes, Remington 2 typewriter, preventing jamming of type bars, path dependence, whatever. I'm not going to cover it here, check this previous write-up of mine if you are interested...

Hall Effect: What is a Hall Effect switch and will it turn you into a gaming god? TL;DR: Nope, but there are reasons why you may want to use a Hall Effect Keyboard. Hall Effect switches are the newest trend in mechanical keyboard switches. From Gateron to Geon, switch manufacturers are starting to release HE switches. With Wooting at the forefront and seemingly the best implementation of Hall Effect technology, many other brands seem to be playing catch-up. We’ve seen releases like the RAKKA, BOOG75, DrunkDeer, and MOD007 HE start to stir up competition. But do you need another keyboard? Is this one going to be the end all be all for you? Is HE Endgame? If you’re like me, a keyboard enthusiast, your answers will probably be: no(yes), no, and no. Do I think that an HE board deserves a spot in your collection? Maybe… Let’s dive into the latest technological update to mechanical switches in a long time, and you can make that decision for yourself. First, we need to know...

Probate and trust taxation plays a crucial role in estate planning, ensuring tax compliance and minimizing the financial burden on estates and trusts. For Florida residents, understanding how estate tax, fiduciary income tax, and gift tax apply is vital. Jostock & Jostock, P.A. is dedicated to helping clients, especially in Naples, navigate these complexities with effective tax strategies tailored to individual needs.

Trust Taxation: Trust taxation refers to how the IRS treats assets held in a trust. Trusts are taxed based on whether they are revocable or irrevocable, as well as the income generated from the assets. Proper...

Figure 1: No, this is not a mistake. This is actually a real force curve I collected... I’ll be the first person in line to swear up and down that force curves are and should be the absolute gold standard of information to have about any mechanical keyboard switch prior to buying them. Even those questionable, hacked together diagrams from manufacturers provide more of an idea about how a switch could or should feel than any sort of buzzword or marketing fluff about them. If you’re serious about buying switches, weird onomatopoeic descriptions or comparisons drawn to other switches just shouldn’t cut it – unless they’re in a longform switch review from your favorite switch reviewer, that is. While many of you probably already have a half decent familiarity with force curves as a result of my introductory article to them here on Drop, as well as my over 1,200 different switches that I’ve collected force curves on to date also thanks to Drop, not many of you probably...
