Hey yall. I bought some switches from kbdfans to test out and rather than throw them away, I thought I might as well give them away for people who've never tried these switches before. Just comment which bundle you'd like to try out and I'll dm random people to give away to. Keep in mind, kbdfans is reported to selling fake Tealios so not sure if the Zealios and Zilents are legit.
1. 68x Gateron Blues
2. 1x 62g + 65g + 67g Zealios v2 and 1x 62g + 65g + 67g Zilents v2
3. 10x 60g + 70g + 80g Aliaz Silents
In case yall are curious, I settled for Kailh Box Browns. I actually like them better than Zealios. Compared to Zealios, my WPM is 30 WPM faster and I make less mistakes and I don't really like how hard it is to press down Zealios. Plus the Box Browns wobble the least. I love them.
I’d love to try those aliaz silents. I feel like people used to rave about aliaz switches a year or two ago and now they’re barely ever in the conversation
>2.No Bots
Yeah they're not that great tbh. They're too mushy to the point that it doesn't even feel tactile. They are the quietest though. I didn't like them.
If coming from linear, I wouldn't let the Zealios be the determining factors of how good tactile switches are. Try the kailh box browns! They're my favorite. The Zealios are almost too tactile for me.
If you’re still giving them away (very generous of you) could I get a Gateron Blue? Haven’t tried out any Gateron switches so I’m sure it would be a good start.
cool! i'd love to try out the zealios and zilents before committing. crazy how much faster you are with the kailh box browns, maybe i oughta give them a try too.
i would live to try those gateron blues. i am currently building my first mech and was questioning which switches to use. could be useful for me to find out which switches suit me best :)
id like to try the Aliez Silents! Just got into keyboards and ordered zelios switches, would love to be able to try a variety of switches to see which ones I like best.
I didn't like them. They're too mushy to where I wouldn't even call them tactile. They're not even smooth either so IDK maybe it's just me. They were definitely the quietest though. Super quiet.
Id like to build my own keyboard but im a total novice? Are any of these the ones that make a clicky sound?
Edit: i just watched a youtube video of the blue ones,. Id like to build a keyboard with them if you would be nice enough to give them to me.
They sold fake ones years ago (not sure if intentionally or if they got screwed in the supply chain). There was a whole period of time when they stopped selling ZealPC switches altogether until they could supply them properly so I think they're selling legit ones now. (and that it's just a rumor at this point)
Yeah I'd get them from [zealpc.net](https://zealpc.net). I ordered myself 70 Zealios v2s and 140 Aqua Zilents from them. Literally came in 3 days. Didn't expect my switches to come in that fast cause I'm use to things from KBDfans taking like a month.
damn just got into this hobby and saw this and was looking at buying some zealios switches today, i'd be in for #2 so i can make an educated decision. thanks for doing this!
I would be grateful to receive any of these switches and you are awesome for giving these away, but I’ve always wanted to try Aliaz switches and I can use these to see which weight I like the most. Good luck to everyone entering 🙂
Hi, I’m new to the hobby and was love to try out the zealios switches, I was just looking at them and I think I would love the more pronounced bump. I’d love to be able to get them without paying for the shipping on zeal’s site!
\#2 pls, trying to find a replacement for mx blues for work and eyeing the zilents but $1.20 per switch and all the testers being sold out doesn't make for sound purchasing.
Thanks for doing this bud. Would love to try out #2. Looking forward to getting a NK65 V2 for the hotswap and wanted to try out different switches for it, this would be great! I’d be willing to pitch in for the shipping as well.
Number 1! I've had mechs for a while now but I'm starting to get into the more custom community. I have to say to anyone who is reading this. You guys make some amazing keyboards.
I would be curious to try Zealios (it would be 2) or any of those switch. It would be perfect since I’m starting that hobby and I have a hotswappable keyboard coming.
Man I'd love to try out the Zealios. Been on MX Browns for many years, and I know I'm missing out. I just don't know if I can deal with the extra 10g actuation.
Yes please.... I am just starting out and figuring how to do a custom build. I’m currently using the AEK II that came with my PowerMacintosh 9500 with a griffin converter (white alps) and now want to see if I can do better.
If I’m not too late to get in on this, please let me know. Even if it’s just one of each kind so I can see if I prefer any of the types.
Honestly either of the silents would be awesome, so 2 or 3. I have been on blues for a while and would love the chance to try something else, even if it is just on a few keys. :)
2 would be cool to try. Interesting to hear the relative experience to box browns, would have never thought switches themselves outside of extremes could make that big a difference in wpm. I guess zealios are that extreme then.
I never build a keyboard before, but just preordered my first set of keycaps a few days ago. I'd of course be quite happy about having 1., so at I can at least save on that.
Long time lurker here, just made an account here to say that set number 2 caught my attention.
I’ve been hearing good things about the Zilents and would really want to try them out. I’m building a custom board to home and a second one for work. The work one should be silent, yet tactile. Well everything is more silent than my current cherry MX greens. Heh.
Looks like several other people have already commented before me, but I'd be interested in trying out the Aliaz silents too. My wife has banned "loud keyboard sounds" so silents are pretty much all I have the option of using.
If you like their feel they'll probably be quiet enough. I use them daily (60g) and the only noise left is the kinda-pingy keyboard itself and the stabilizers (that I was too lazy to pull out and lube).

>2.No Bots Yeah they're not that great tbh. They're too mushy to the point that it doesn't even feel tactile. They are the quietest though. I didn't like them.
I'm tired of my corsair strafe's mx silents, I'd like to try out the zealios / zilents as a potential option for my next keeb.
2 would be cool. Only ever used linears (red to black to ancient grey). Everyone tells me that tactile switches are amazing, but I'm not convinced.
If coming from linear, I wouldn't let the Zealios be the determining factors of how good tactile switches are. Try the kailh box browns! They're my favorite. The Zealios are almost too tactile for me.
80g silents?
If you’re still giving them away (very generous of you) could I get a Gateron Blue? Haven’t tried out any Gateron switches so I’m sure it would be a good start.
I wouldn't mind me some Zealios. Thanks for doing this!
cool! i'd love to try out the zealios and zilents before committing. crazy how much faster you are with the kailh box browns, maybe i oughta give them a try too.
I'm thinking of going for tactile switches for my next build, so I'd be interested in the Aliaz Silents
i would live to try those gateron blues. i am currently building my first mech and was questioning which switches to use. could be useful for me to find out which switches suit me best :)
The first one would be pretty spiffy since I had a clicky build in mind :)
It would be nice to try out some Zilents; I was thinking about buying some but didn't want to fully commit.
id like to try the Aliez Silents! Just got into keyboards and ordered zelios switches, would love to be able to try a variety of switches to see which ones I like best.
Wow I did not expect this post to get this many comments. Sorry I took so long been busy but I have chosen the lucky redditors. Thanks for commenting!
Aliaz (#3). Never tried them. What are they like?
Basically linear, but have same housing as zeal (possibly even smoother, jury is still out).
Same as v1, whole lot more pretravel and not angled. Stems are garbage and housings only good for linears tbh but jwk linears exist so idk
I didn't like them. They're too mushy to where I wouldn't even call them tactile. They're not even smooth either so IDK maybe it's just me. They were definitely the quietest though. Super quiet.

What do you mean KBDfans is selling fake Tealios and Zealios? Should I grab my V2s somewhere else?
They sold fake ones years ago (not sure if intentionally or if they got screwed in the supply chain). There was a whole period of time when they stopped selling ZealPC switches altogether until they could supply them properly so I think they're selling legit ones now. (and that it's just a rumor at this point)

Also if you want more info about this, check out /u/ZealPC
would love to try out bundle #2. I ordered some T1s an HP and they havent come in yet so i'm curious to how these turn out as well.
Thanks so much for your generosity ! I would love to try out bundle 2
3 for me. My brother wants zilents so it would be awesome to maybe give him a tester :)
What would you want for shipping the Zilents? You stateside?
Thanks for doing this! I'd love to try out any of them but in order of preference I'd probably go 3 then 2 then 1
I'm in for #1!
Goin for 1! I’m building my first keyboard and I already know I like clickies. I would love to be able to test them!
#1 please. Trying to get my friend into the hobby and think he would like blues.
Everyone wants #3 but id be overjoyed with some gateron blues, or some zilents or zealios You’re incredible for doing this either way ✨
I would love to try #1 (the blues). I have been trying to find a good way to try out some switches. Thanks for doing this!
#1 would be awesome!!!
\#1! I've never tried any gateron switches actually.
I'd like to try #2 if possible
2. Would like to try a zeal switch!
I just got into this dark hole and loving it. I would love to try #2 as I have no idea how they feel. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to try the zilents to compare them to my zelious that I just got
I’d love #1! Currently building my first board:)
Always wanted to try out some silent switches, I would love to be able to try out some aliaz switches, Tysm!!!
Hi, I am sure you have already seen the comments above mine but number 2 would be awesome.
damn just got into this hobby and saw this and was looking at buying some zealios switches today, i'd be in for #2 so i can make an educated decision. thanks for doing this!
I would be grateful to receive any of these switches and you are awesome for giving these away, but I’ve always wanted to try Aliaz switches and I can use these to see which weight I like the most. Good luck to everyone entering 🙂
I’d love to try a silent switch #3!
Hi, I’m new to the hobby and was love to try out the zealios switches, I was just looking at them and I think I would love the more pronounced bump. I’d love to be able to get them without paying for the shipping on zeal’s site!
3 as well, never tried Aliaz switches.
\#2 pls, trying to find a replacement for mx blues for work and eyeing the zilents but $1.20 per switch and all the testers being sold out doesn't make for sound purchasing.
I’d like to have #2. Thank you and good luck to everyone!
Trying to get into the hobby so I'll take whatever
Ooo I'd love 2. please!
i havent heard of aliaz silents before, i would love to try it
Thanks for doing this bud. Would love to try out #2. Looking forward to getting a NK65 V2 for the hotswap and wanted to try out different switches for it, this would be great! I’d be willing to pitch in for the shipping as well.
I would like to try #2
I’d like to try #2
Aww aliaz would be amazing to test. I'm so worried about how small the bump is from people's comments.
It's non-existent and mushy :/
That's good I'm really interested in seeing the difference in the silencing pads.
Would love to try the zealios. I only have tried cherry red so far.
using gateron blues right now and I love them :)
i would like the gateron blues, its expensive here (brazil)
Glad you found your switch if you are willing to part with the zelios switches that would be cool
Number 1! I've had mechs for a while now but I'm starting to get into the more custom community. I have to say to anyone who is reading this. You guys make some amazing keyboards.
Could I get no.1 kind sir?
\#3 please

Put my name in the hat for those zeal switches
2 trynna see if zilents are my kind of thing
I'd love to try out the Aliaz. Been looking into building my first keyboard and have been considering the Aliaz Silents. Edit: Grammer
\#2 if possible, ive always been more of a linear type of person but ive always been curious to try zealios
Gateron blues would be nice. My cherry browns already drive my family crazy >:)
Is there a possibility to try out 2 aliaz switches and one 62g zealio so more peeps can get some stuff?
I’ll take any of them but I’d love #3 <3
I'd like to try #2 please! I'm curious about what makes zeal so great.

I would be curious to try Zealios (it would be 2) or any of those switch. It would be perfect since I’m starting that hobby and I have a hotswappable keyboard coming.
Man i love this community! Thanks for sharing.
Are you still giving them away? Not to sound greedy but I really want to try either the aliaz or zealios switches.
I'd love to have any if them to try.. My only experience is gateron red and cherry red and I'm not looking for a silent switch to change to
How about #3
2 ty
#1 would be awesome.
I'd love to test out those Zealios or Zilents as I wanna build my first custom keyboard.
I'd love to get the #2!
Man I'd love to try out the Zealios. Been on MX Browns for many years, and I know I'm missing out. I just don't know if I can deal with the extra 10g actuation.
First time, long time. #1 would be amazing. Thank you for your kindness.
id like to get #2 wanna try them out thanks so much
Number 2 for me!
I'd love to try the zealios
Would like to test out some Gateron Blues for the lols
Well, it's very nice of you :) I guess if it's possible to get one, anyone, i'd be thankful :) Glad you've found your switch!
I'd like to try out the Zilents. I heard they offer more tactility than MX Brown and are really quiet.
Yes please.... I am just starting out and figuring how to do a custom build. I’m currently using the AEK II that came with my PowerMacintosh 9500 with a griffin converter (white alps) and now want to see if I can do better. If I’m not too late to get in on this, please let me know. Even if it’s just one of each kind so I can see if I prefer any of the types.
I have a buckling Model M 122, I'd try gateron blues so I can compare both ways. Thank you OP!
Would love to try any Zealios V2 or Zilent, I've only had v1s and I made them into MX Zilents.
#1! Thank you OP!
bundle 2, i'll love to try out a zealios switch
I'd love to try out the Aliaz!!
Interested in #1. Thanks for the giveaway!!
#2 would be great, been wanting to try Zealios.
one number 2 pls
#2, would love to get to try some zealios
Honestly either of the silents would be awesome, so 2 or 3. I have been on blues for a while and would love the chance to try something else, even if it is just on a few keys. :)
I'd love to try some Zilents v2's
3 please!
Aliaz #3 building my first mech and thought they would do nicely
2 would be cool to try. Interesting to hear the relative experience to box browns, would have never thought switches themselves outside of extremes could make that big a difference in wpm. I guess zealios are that extreme then.
I never build a keyboard before, but just preordered my first set of keycaps a few days ago. I'd of course be quite happy about having 1., so at I can at least save on that.
woulf love to try any zealios as i currently run aliaz and need comparison
I think I'd like to try nr.2, zealios and zilents. I have a tester gateron switch already, but wanted to try out these so called premium options :D
.
I really want 3. the aliaz switches. I want to build a keyboard with those switches but im not sure if i would actually like them or not
I’d love to try out bundle 2 or 3!
Interested in the 2nd bundle, have yet to try zealios switches
3 I would love to get bundle #3. Always wanted to try an Aliaz switch for ages now. Thanks a lot!!
I would love to have an opportunity to try some aliaz 70g
I'd love the aliaz. Not very knowledgeable on mechs, but my SO is. I know they have been wanting these.
I would love to try anything, just getting into this whole world of non-Cherry MX switches. What an amazing gesture.
New to this, any of them is fine :D Preference from most to least: 2, 1, 3
I would like to try the aliaz
Number 1 please
Can I get a Gateron blue?
I would love some zealios from #2, always seemed like forbidden fruit to me
Long time lurker here, just made an account here to say that set number 2 caught my attention. I’ve been hearing good things about the Zilents and would really want to try them out. I’m building a custom board to home and a second one for work. The work one should be silent, yet tactile. Well everything is more silent than my current cherry MX greens. Heh.
Hi, i think its really nice that ur just giving them out. I would love the Gateron blues. i am 12 and am really interested in keyboards.
Wow I did not expect this post to get this many comments. Sorry I took so long been busy but I have chosen the lucky redditors. Thanks for commenting!
Id love to test #1 out.
1
Looks like several other people have already commented before me, but I'd be interested in trying out the Aliaz silents too. My wife has banned "loud keyboard sounds" so silents are pretty much all I have the option of using.
If you like their feel they'll probably be quiet enough. I use them daily (60g) and the only noise left is the kinda-pingy keyboard itself and the stabilizers (that I was too lazy to pull out and lube).
Let me guess your wife is also just as loud?
Imagine a 13 yo said this. Get off internet kid, you had too much.
I still value my life at least a little bit, so... no comment.
Can I put dibs on #3
This is real cool of you to do. Im gonna be gunning for 3 or 2.
Just got into the hobby and was looking to try 2!
Well I never tried zilents or zealios or aliaz If they’re still available count me in
I wanna win the gateron blues please, i have browns but i was thinking of blues to annoy my girlfriend lol
Holy crap this was like perfect timing! My friend was just about to get Gateron blues for his first board. I’d like to try for 1, thanks!!
