This is an Aliaz Silent switch with a 100g spring. You heard me, 100g and it feels as heavy as it sounds.

 

As a fan of lightweight linears such as the Gateron Yellow and Tealios with a 62g spring, and also that my switch tester included 4 Aliaz Silents with 60g, 70, 80g, and 100g weights available, I thought I'd give the 100g springed Aliaz Silent a go and lube it for obvious reasons.

The 100g Aliaz Silent feels like a middle ground between the Gateron Brown and Zealios V2, the bump isn't as sharp and pronounced as the Zealios, but isn't as faint as the Gateron Brown. Additionally, the Aliaz Silent has some pre-travel before the bump, maybe about half-way down but I don't have any force curves to confirm that.

It has a nice and soft bottom-out and reset as well due to the silencing rubbers. The travel on the keypress feels extremely bumpy though and I don't really like it, at least for the 100g version. The 60g version doesn't suffer from the bumpiness, maybe it's just that I'm not used to heavier switches.

    I need a 1 Kg version for my spacebar, just smashing it with my fist to use it.

    Want me to put the 100g spring into a Zealios V2 @Den-Fi? Feel like it might amplify the tactility by a lot compared to my 62g Zealios.

    @Den-Fi Where did that emoji comes from?

    @Den-Fi spirt springs are pretty nice, i would recommend getting the 63.5g and 68g "s" springs, also check out TX springs.

    @Den-Fi You really should consider getting some new springs for zeals, zeal has some of the worst springs.

    Wep, just fitted the 100g spring into a Zealio, @Den-Fi, and it's about as heavy and sharp on the tactility as I expected.

    I love that spring weight for Zealios really only affect the tactile bump force, after that, it's a nice, smooth, linear experience. Mind you, I'm using a lubed 100g Zealios V2 here obviously.

    It's like the same as a 62g Zealio, except the 100g is harder to press down as well as heavier to bottom out, but is also way more prominent in the tactile bump. It's a Zealios tactile bump on steroids.

    I got lube all over my fingers because I was spring-swapping a lubed Zealios V2 and a lubed Aliaz Silent so please appreciate the effort my hands have gone through to give you that in-depth analysis of ghetto 100g Zealios V2. :P

    What I should have read:

    Spoiler

    One hundred gram spring

    What I read instead:

    Spoiler

    A rated for an actuating force of A HUNDRED TIMES THE FORCE OF GRAVITY spring.

    let oneHundredGee;
if (Energycore = fool) {
	oneHundredGee = 'a force equal to a hundred times gravity';
} else {
	oneHundredGee = 'a hundred grams';
}
console.log(`These new switches are rated for ${oneHundredGee}. Isn't that I N T E R E S T I N G?`);

    Took me about 5-6 minutes to write this.
