Has anyone who has tried the ZealPC Clickiez might offer insight their perpective: Alps switches, specifically the tactile SMK whites and blue clicky switches are amongst my favorite style of switch so much that I will sooner use my vintage Alps keyboard from the 1980s-90s over my more modern MX style switches as, in my biased opinion, they feel more balanced are weightier/heftier and have a more overall balanced feel due to the square stem (like comparing classic Happ buttons to lighter Sanwa).

With that said, I saw a post that Chryosan22 did on the ZealPC clickiez and am very intrigued. From the video it sounded like they provided a heftier weight tactility like alps but the smoothness of an MX style switch. If anyone’s tried them out I’m curious how the tactility feels in comparison to other switches youve tried, specifically alps and MX.

Thanks

    I just happen to have a clickies and white alps keyboard right here.

    Stock clickies are in the neighborhood of like box jade. There is a sharp bump/tactile event, but also a bump on the return. Still feels harsh, but not as tiring to type on. Maybe they need to be broken in.

    White alps sound clicky, but arent as tactile. Especially when comparing to Clickies, because those require way more force to press down. Maybe I need to rebend the contacts inside, as that can be the cause of mushier alps, but clickies are vastly different.

    Tl;dr Clickies still feel like box jades than alps.
