Zealios switches are designed with a focus on providing a satisfying typing experience, with a smooth and tactile feel that enthusiasts and professionals often prefer. Their switches also have a reputation for being well-lubricated and consistent in their feel.
This comes down to personal preference, but generally lighter weights (around 62g) are better for typing quickly and accurately, while heavier weights (around 78g) are better for more deliberate and intentional typing.
Zealios switches use the same form factor as Cherry MX switches, so they should be compatible with any keyboard that uses those switches. However, it's always best to double-check with your keyboard's manufacturer or supplier to be sure.
Some users have reported that the feel of Zealios switches can improve after a break-in period of several hours of use. However, this varies from person to person and is not necessary for the switches to function properly.
This is subjective and depends on your individual preferences and needs. Some users swear by Zealios switches and are willing to pay the premium for their tactile feel and consistency, while others may find that other switches meet their needs just as well.
