Editing Zealio (section)

==Description==
The switches are manufactured exclusively for [[Zeal PC]] by [[Gateron]].
The top housing carry the Gateron logo. The tactile purple sliders (Zealio V1 and V2) were custom made for [[Zeal PC]].
Unlike Gateron's regular switches, they have gold-plated springs which makes the springs resistant to corrosion and therefore friction when the keys are pressed.

Most variants have fully transparent housings, which are supposed to help with [[backlighting]].

The Zealio V1 tactile variant's purple stem is shaped like the [[Cherry MX Clear]] but is less tight on keycaps..
The feel is reported to be smoother - even smoother than [[Lubrication|lubricated]] [[Cherry MX Ergo Clear|Ergo Clears]].

According to reviews, the Version 2 Zealio has no noticeable pre-travel before the tactile bump and more travel between the bump and the actuation point. Critics have said that it is easier to overshoot the actuation point, making it harder not to bottom out. It is also easier to overcome the tactile bump without activating the switch as well as to deactivate the switch without going back over the tactile bump.<ref name="ghzealios2opinions">Geekhack.org—[https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=98677.0 Zealios V2 - opinions].
