Zeal PC Blue Zilents V2 Silent Tactile Switch

I really dig these switches. Good tactile feel, works with RGB on my Keychron board. Some other reviewers had issues with quality control - I personally did not have any issues. All 30 of my ordered switches worked fine, and I plan to get more soon.

Poor quality control. Some of the switches stick half way down right out of the bag. If you don't hit the key dead center, they will act more like linear switches. Then, finally, the metal contacts are wider than my previous switches, so they don't even fit in correctly.

Favorite switches, by a long shot. Wonderful bump without being too harsh.

The tactile feel of these are great, however the switches themselves are rendered useless due to either a design flaw or bad quality control. The channel for the stem has enough play in it that if you don't press straight down on the key, it won't register a press. This is fine for certain keys that often have some kind of stability or correction around them, but for many keyboards that use the cherry-mx style switches, this is limited to the larger keys like spacebar and maybe return, shift, etc For the rest of the keys, if your fingers don't press straight down and bottom out the switch, there's a high probability that it won't register. I thought this was a one-off, but every switch in my pack has this issue. Maybe it was a bad run, but I feel that's unlikely. Again, the bump is nice and crisp, but how the switch feel is meaningless if they don't actually register presses reliably.
