Lmao 2k likes only 2 replies
'What are you going to do with those, sir?'
Opening with eggplant: Okay i must be in wrong channel
Switch INSIDE eggplant
*Okay this is right channel*
dude took out a whole shopping cart for 3 eggplants
True xd
Gotta save his strength for building killer keyboards 😜
Loved the almost how to basic intro :D
2:10 wow. What a fantastic demonstration of tactility curve. Great visual. I wish more keyboard youtubers would do that!
your right
agreed, that was very good
already have the v2s on order so was interested in seeing your review of them looking farward to them even more now you have confirmed what other members of the community have said good video as usual dude look farward to your next one
that editing was so cool, i know its simple but i still really appreciate it
Even if you say that Zealios V2 are what BOX Royals should've been, we can't take away that Kailh's engineers cracked the code for what actually increases tactility. Zealio V1's tried to increase tactility by changing the shape of the bump in the slider, which never really worked as well as expected for increasing sheer tactile resistance no matter what weighting in the coil springs they tried. It seems nobody could figure it out until Kailh realized that the shape of the bump is not the same as the magnitude of the resistance, and that what actually increases the magnitude is whatever element in the switch is directly pushing against the slider bump: for MX-type designs, that would be the contact leaf; the same way that for BOX clickies, it's the click bar. Therefore, thicker contacts = more tactility, which is independent of the shape of the bump or the weight of the coil spring. This principle is exactly what Zeal took advantage of with the V2's, and he owes it entirely to the BOX Royal.
Well said! I will try these if my halo clears with krytox 202 don't do if for me 11 days from now. Lubing your switches doesn't decrease actuation force unless you lube the legs... Man this keyboard game is interesting
@@youtubebotluke3000 "no one cares" says the guy who replied to a year-old comment.
@@youtubebotluke3000 look a the number of likes his post received and how it make you look dumb :)
Seem like some peoples actually care.
@@youtubebotluke3000 I cared. the essay was nice. 10 points for him, 0 for you.
@Kyle Louw at the beginning I used 205G0 for all switches too.
Now I would not recommend doing it like this though.
205G0 only for linears
TriboSys 3203 for tactiles
the G0 numbs tactile switches while the 3203 doesn't make them as smooth but keeps the tactility.
Damn Zealios V2s more tactile than Holy Pandas. Well, I guess I need to get them both, since I've already jumped in on the Massdrop Holy Panda drop.
Great review thank you for going so in depth. As someone new to mechanical switches outside of Cherry and Topre this was really helpful. Wondering if there's a comparable example typing test of the Holy Pandas? Would have been nice to have at the end but I understand it's sponsored content.
The hype is real. Been wanting to take a look at Zeals for a really long time now
@@TaehaTypes As soon as Zilent V2 drops, I might have to try and beat you to a review lmao
LMFAO THAT INTRO HAD ME DYING! I was like... what is this Chinese eggplant -0:33 "What the...?"
I'm kicking myself for not being familiar with your channel earlier but fuck it dude you got a sub! Love the content, love the channel.
Your videos are so high quality i cannot
I already joined the gb a while ago. Thanks for helping me justify it! I was starting to wonder if I made the right choice.
Just wanted to try out this new feature, dont plan on making it a permanent thing. If people dont like it I wont be doing it in the future! -NK
Great intro! And nice review too. Definitively gonna help me decide to buy or not the v2. cheers from brazil.
holy shit they even sound extremely tactile
Looking forward to giving these a try. Also experiencing some aubergine envy.
a year ago i wouldnt have even imagined myself watching an in-depth video talking about a keyboard switch (didn't even know the diff between membrane and mech back then)
2020 is a crazy year
Same. Just ordered a bunch of stuff to build my first one.
Same as you, but i discovered this last week. Now im considering being a hobo with a sick endgame keyboard.
@@TomasuHachi It was worth it.
That intro haha, great review! You need to get some of the V2 Tealios being that you like vint blacks! I think they are going to be one of the best linear switches right now with the new housing molds having less wobble, and it already being one of the smoothest linears.
Nathan Kim whaaaat?! I'm stoked to watch it and hear your thoughts on them!
Love all your reviews and guides! Great quality work. For better or worse, your sound tests have set a standard I have yet to reach with switches!
You have said that Cherry housings are your favorite for sound; is it possible to put a Zealios 2 stem in a cherry housing? The sound of the zealios in your QXP was a bit more high pitched than I had hoped.
For context, I use tribosys 3204 lubed cherry mx clears with 68g springs. I really like them but would like a bit more tactility.
Thanks!
Nathan, love your reviews man. When do you plan on reviewing the Zilents v2?! :D
Such an amazing review/video! Congratulations!
@@TaehaTypes absolutely man. Just to give you a better feedback.
The intro was very creative and fun and the quality of the video itself (recording, editing, etc) is very rare in our community.
The information is on point, you focused enough on HP comparison which is really useful and what a lot of people wants to know about, described the feeling in a very deep and knowledgeable way, from feeling to sound and etc, really cool!
I don't even have good suggestions for improvements, maybe comparing good lube options for the switch? Well, you kinda did that and more than that would probably be unpractical anyway.
Great job! Hope to see more in the future!
I really liked the intro
Tactility doesn't matter so much for me, and I usually go linear, but I can see how someone who likes clicky switches might like these.
Nice review! I've been wondering, for you whose hand have laid on many custom, is the thickness of a plate really makes a difference in terms of feel and sound? In your opinion what's the upside and downside to standard 1.5mm plate?
I like premieres, gives me something to look forward to.
man, those sound really nice. are you going to be formally reviewing the healios and updated tealios too?
Another great review man. Guess ill have to join the GB haha
Dope intro fam
Comparing the sound test of the holy panda in the Fjell keyboard you made with this one I have to say I like the sound of the HP more. It's not as sharp as the HP sound. That is not to say I wouldn't mind a couple for my collection!
that intro killed me oh my god i spat water all over my laptop
subbed
Your older content had such a futuristic vibe to it!
Hello, excellent content as always. Have you had the chance to try out the BOX Burnt Orange switch? How do they compare to these or regular zeals?
Oh yeah Nathan, how does these sound compared to the royals? Are they louder? Wanted to get them, but if they're louder then I'll get the zilents v2
should i buy extra of the holy panda on mass drop? or do you think they'll be readily available after that drop? i only have one cherry style keyboard currently, but want to build an ergodox infinity, and my other keeb is an HHKB pro 2. So wondering if i should spend the extra money up front to have extras, or if i should just buy enough for my current keyboard
Im trying to compare the Halo Clear's I have right now with the Zealio/Tealios v2. I notice tealios v2 shows 67g but is that bottom out, spring force, or actuation? I see on MassDrop site it shows the clears in different categories (tactile peak 65, actuation force 52, bottom out force 78, spring force 78) Please help! thanks!
nathan mic drop = now a meme for keyboard enthusiasts XD
After 4 years, I still think zealios v2 are one of the best tactiles out there, and my personal favorite atm.
Zeal did a stellar job with this switch. I don't feel ripped off buying them at all.
I cant decide on the 67g vs 78g zealios. Any ideas or thoughts that could help me visualize their difference?
A friend recommended these. I liked cherry browns but I wanted more tactility It sounds these might be the solution. My concern is the spring tension on these switches how does that behave?
We like your lamp!
great video man :D
These are my favorite switches right now I think the 67 are my favorite but I will use extra lube I want a more rounded feel also but I love the sound of this switch
10/10 intro
How would an MX Silent Black stem fit in a Zealio V2 housing? Would MX Zilent V2 see any major improvements?
Hey Nathan, What is the name of that volume knob under the left side of your monitor? I want to get one like it
I want to build my first "real" keyboard. Currently using a 30$ mechanical keyboard after my razer broke. Can't decide which Zealios V2 I should get. I want a switch which is a bit heavier but I don't know if you can actually get tired after longer sessions if the switch is to heavy. Is it possible to get tired with any of those weights? And is the 67g a good choice for not getting tired but having a nice tactile bump? (searching for a 75% with no bezels atm. too :D) Want to use it for typing and gaming.
What keycap are you using for the esc key? It looks nice and I really want one. Where can I buy one?
i NEED that ring on your middle finger its so clean. Would you mind telling me where you got it/linking it (the hexagonal one)
Woooooo, another NK vid.
I am new to swapping out switches. What is the difference in the grams for switches? I'm trying to figure out if I want the 62 or 67 gram Zealios v2.
I like the feeling I have with cherry mx blue when I type, will Zealios V2 offer a similar experience? (I know it's not a clicky switch).
Have you tried using the halo stem instead of the zealio stem? Might be a bit more like a holy panda
i really felt that last clip
are v2 zealios better than holy pandas?
how v2 zelios sound before lubing?
What case is that light blue one with the white caps you put the seals in?
How are these compared to box browns ? I’ve only had box browns and Mx browns. I’m new to keyboard switches
Where do you get all the parts for your keyboards from?
what about zealios V2 vs Hako royals? I'm using the hako royals in my daily driver and i absolutely love them! the hako switch and stem really bring out a much rounder bottoming out compared to the sharp brickwall slam of the regular royal.
do these switches hit gmk caps with north face led?
I love Nathan even more now.
The way you're stroking those egg plants 😳
Anyone know where I can find this keycap set? Ive looked EVERYWHERE and can’t seem to find it...
65g or 67g? I can't decide. I liked 65 and 67 v1 zealios.
OLD TAEHA TYPES IS SO CUTE
Hey, I've been a big fan of Cherry MX Clears for a while now. I like that they're pretty quiet and have a defined "tactile" bump. They can kind of feel mushy at times, but I also tend to bottom out my keys.
Do you have any suggestion for what I could move to that would give a similar but "improved" feel like Cherry MX Clears?
I've been using clears for a while now, and I love them, now I just bought the Zeals V.2. I can tell you straight up that the tactile bump on the Zeals V.2 is tremendously more defined and quick and sharper. If you think you would like a more noticeable bump, then I would go with Zeals. In my opinion, they feel absolutely incredible compared to the clears.
@@GFMBadger What weight Zealios did you get?
Apk07 I got 67g zealios v.2. I heard they are the best get to if you are used to more heavier switches like clears.

Thanks
Ok
Thank you
Ahh. Thank you.
Still a god a year later
Do the zilent v2s have the same tactility?
Do you recommend krytox 103 or 104 for zealios? Planning on a zealios build (or any other lube you recommend)
@@TaehaTypes thanks!
this is the taeha types i remember
Can this fit on gk61 keyboard???
NEED HELP HERE
i prefer the u4 boba's over these but only because i dont like much sound at all and love tactility. these are very good though and would prob be my option (or the aqua zilent perhaps) if i wanted some more sound on tactile switches
I ordered 62g but didn't realize they were rated at bottom out. I'm coming from Topre 45g and honestly wouldn't mind something lighter than that, my main requirement was more just having the bump at top with no pre-travel similar to Topre. What can you say about the 62g version?
They're pretty good
how do they compare to sky switches
In the first 30 seconds i thought this was a howtobasic video dont scare me like that
Alright, completely unrelated, but does anybody know where to get his hoodie?
**Intro**
My friend: Wtf are you watching?
Everyone gangsta before Invyr releases Holy Pandas v3
oh my god those keycaps
This new technology can be used to update their zilents in v2 version
Damn the typing part is soooo short. Looking forward to the full typing clip. Will definitely get Zealios v2!
Ps. The eggplants gave me goosebumps
@@TaehaTypes LOOL I did after I just posted the comment XD
These may be my new fbaorite switches
Hi Nathan, Should I lube Zealios switches? I have 78g switches and i love that tactile feels. Will the tactile feels be affected if i get lubed?
@@TaehaTypes Thanks Kathan. So should I lube my swithces? As i never try lubed zealios, which do you feel better? Lubed or unlubed?
Nathan Kim Thank you!! One more question, Which lubricant should I use?
Digging my name
Haha nice bloopers
You sound like that episode of SNL when Kylo Ren goes undercover as Matt
Pump your audio up a little, had a hard time hearing the dialog without maxing out my headphones
Or just get some better headphones or device with better integrated dac
I love my Zealios V2's, i got the 65gs
will it be on discount during black friday
I lightly lubed my zealios v2 legs. It is still pretty tactile
Your old videos are funny
Since this is going to be about a switch, I have one question. In your own opinion, what it your favorite switch? Or what is your favorite tactile and favorite linear switch?
@@TaehaTypes Thanks for the reply!
what usb cable is that?
new to the keyboard scene. wondering what switches you would recommend
gateron brown is pretty sweet, they have tactile feedback that is noticable more than cherry's counter part
I agree. If someone is getting Browns, Gateron browns are the best. They sound way better and feel better than the MX cherry browns. Zeelios v2 are similar but they really shine when they are lightly lubed with Krytox 205 grade 0. They sound like raindrops on wooden payment with some force
TheHornet79
> They sound like raindrops on wooden pavement with some force.
I know nothing about keebs and switches. But as a lurker, I thought, “finally someone who describes something very hard to qualify with analogies!” Perfect statement. I’m getting them!
@@manwithllamaMake sure you buy a brass plate and lube the switches if you want this particular sound. Its worth it.
@@TheHornet79 Thanks for the advice! Now searching if I can somehow get a brass plate on a minivan.
like a bulldozer
like a tank
like a solider
I really want to use these, but i have no clue (and don't have enough skill and time) to make a custom keyboard. Does anyone know a tenkeyless keyboard that comes with these?
i dont believe there is one. :(
switch films? what are they?
song at 4:40?
