So, I’ve done a bit more research on these, and found varying results depending on starting Zeal switch… Zealio V2s in 78g were sold out on zeal’s site, so I got some Tealio V2 switches in hopes that I could take the Tealio V2 stem and spring out using my Zealiostotle V1 78g springs and aristotle stems to make them into roughly the same thing as a zealiostotle V2 discussed in the original post. Results from each set of tests are as follows…
Baseline:
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zealio V2 Spring (78g) = Sounds deeper than Zealiostotle V1 (78g), strong tactility
Variants tested in my first iteration of testing:
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Sprit 78p = Sounds like Zealiostotle V2, but slightly less tactile (maybe)
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Sprit 72p = Sounds like Zealiostotle V2, but slightly less tactile (barely)
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Sprit 68p = Sounds like Zealiostotle V2, but slightly less tactile (barely)
Variants tested in my second iteration of testing:
Tealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Tealio Spring (67g) = Sounds and feels like Zealiostotle V1 (67g)
Tealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zealio V2 Spring (78g) = Sounds and feels like Zealiostotle V1 (78g)
Tealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zealio V1 Spring (78g) = Sounds and feels like Zealiostotle V1 (78g)
Zilent V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zilent V2 Spring (78g) = Sounds similar to Zealiostotle V1 (78g), Crunchy
Zilent V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zilent V1 Spring (78g) = Sounds similar to Zealiostotle V1 (78g), Crunchy
Zilent V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zealio V2 Spring (78g) = Sounds similar to Zealiostotle V1 (78g), Crunchy
Zilent V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zealio V1 Spring (78g) = Sounds similar to Zealiostotle V1 (78g), Crunchy
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Tealio Spring (67g) = Sounds and feels like Zealiostotle V2 (78g), Lighter
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zilent V2 Spring (78g) = Sounds and feels like Zealiostotle V2 (78g)
Zealio V2 Housing, Aristotle stem, Zilent V1 Spring (78g) = Sounds and feels like Zealiostotle V2 (78g)
Due to the above, I believe there must be a difference between the Tealio V2, Zealio V2, and Zilent V2 housings, as the results in all of the Zealio V2 Housings were awesome, but in Tealio V2 and Zilent V2, the results were less than desirable comparatively. All of my purchased stock of V2s (Zealios and Zilents) came with 78g springs, except the Tealios… So, if there are differences in housings from zeal in the V2 line, between switches of different weights in the same family, I would be completely unaware and unable to test for it as of now. I’m tempted to take a set of calipers or micrometers to the switches, but it’s already been a bunch of stuff to test for one evening.
