Hello, Deskthority!
Just a quick question, does anyone have any idea as to what the minimum usable spring weight for Zealios is?
Thanks!

Zealios offers switches with springs (measured by bottoming-out force) as low as 62g.
I've read that (from Winkeyless I believe) for springs below 60g to be installed (in an MX clear), they need to be lubed really well otherwise they easily get stuck.

Thanks!
Figuring a re-lubrication of brand new springs, 60g is the minimum?

Found the post:
"... but we recommend 62g because 55g and 58g springs need lubing to prevent from being stuck. ..."

But beware, some springs sold are named / measured by its required bottoming-out force, some other switches are mostly known for their actuation forces according to the force curves. These are very different things.

Zealios are measured in bottom out weights like most after market springs are, too.

Thanks a lot! On this same keyboard, just one more question. I plan on using Enablers under my plate mounted switches, and I was curious to see what you would do to prevent case ring. I'm going to buy a custom case, so something I was thinking (I've not a clue if it's been done before) was keep the plate and case separate, and for the four screws securing the two together, drill four holes in the case, fill them with silicon, then secure the plate via screws leading into those silicon filled holes.
