Know before you buy
While they are significantly quieter than standard mechanical switches, they are not completely silent. They feature internal dampeners to reduce noise, but you will still hear a soft sound when the switch bottoms out.
The weight refers to the force required to actuate the switch. 62g is the lightest and closest to a standard feel, while 78g offers a heavier, more deliberate resistance that many typists prefer to prevent accidental key presses.
These are Cherry MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards. They are PCB-mounted, but the two extra plastic legs can be easily clipped off if your specific keyboard requires a plate-mount design.
The V2s are known for a crisp, distinct tactile bump that you can feel clearly before the switch bottoms out. It provides a satisfying physical confirmation of each keystroke without the loud, audible click of a traditional clicky switch.
Zeal Zilents V2 are exclusively manufactured by Gateron to Zeal's specific design requirements. This partnership ensures high-quality production standards and the unique tactile profile Zeal is known for.
