help Zealios V2 FAQ
What makes Zealios V2 switches feel different from Holy Pandas?
Zealios V2 switches are known for a clean, early tactile bump with little pre-travel. Holy Panda-style switches usually feel rounder and louder, while Zealios V2 aims for a sharper premium tactile feel from ZealPC.
Which Zealios V2 spring weight should a typist choose?
Zealios V2 has commonly been sold in weights such as 62 g, 65 g, 67 g, and 78 g. Lighter weights suit long typing sessions, while 67 g and 78 g versions appeal to people who want more resistance and a firmer return.
Do Zealios V2 switches need lubing?
They are considered smoother than many stock tactile switches, but enthusiasts still often lube the rails and springs for a cleaner sound. Over-lubing the tactile legs can reduce the bump, so Zealios V2 needs more care than a linear switch like a Gateron Ink Black.
Will Zealios V2 fit a hot-swap mechanical keyboard?
Zealios V2 uses the MX-style stem and is commonly sold as a 5-pin PCB-mount switch. It fits many hot-swap boards, but 3-pin plates may require clipping the two plastic legs.
