Hi all, have a Zaopin Z2 on the way and figured I should order switches just to make use of the hot swapping. Does anyone have any recommendations for switches similar to an old Aria XD7 but feel lighter? I don't really have much care for sound or anything like that as long as it feels good. Thanks!

I guess if anyone's had experience with the TTC Golds and found switches that they preferred over the golds is another way of going about the question?

Ended up finding some spreadsheets and stuff with people who have somewhat scientifically measured the actuation force

#

not really an indicator of how it might actually feel, or what the switches might be like in a Z2 specifically, but a good starting point

#

Probably going to just order a bunch off aliexpress

#

Huano green dot, red dot, silent white dots, OMRON D2LS-21 Blue dot, Kailh White Sword, Kailh 9.0

I found green dots too stiff, and the silent whites were not sitting properly for some reason but I did enjoy how they felt. Ended up with the pink dots

yo

#

whats the snappiest switch youve found

#

so like heavier

#

the green dots were prob the heaviest? but pink dots feel snappy to me

#

the huano whites had the least give, were a bit like a thinkpad trackpad mouse button almost? i liked them

#

but yeah i think they just don't fit the mouse or something
