Reply to comment by NorthCoast11 in New keyboard came in today. Matias Laptop Pro for Mac by plazman30

Matias definitely has issues with chatter. But it would seem to be related to the factory lube or something that gets into the contacts. If you don't mind doing some cleaning, they can continue working for longer. Would be great if Matias could address the issue themselves. My own Matias QC board is currently sitting idle as it has a couple chattering switches that need to be addressed and I'm being lazy. But I also recently mostly finished a Zeal Clickiez tactile/dampened mod so I still have Alps feeling switches that are keeping me happy.

So Zeal Clickiez are kind of Alps-aporoximate? Good to know. I've been circling the intense inclination to build a board but I've been stuck on deciding on switches. And a lot of other things but switches is a major.

Thanks.

Yeah, they have a click leaf very similar to Alps. The housing is obviously MX and not Alps so they definitely have some difference there. But to me, the biggest difference from alps is the extreme tactility even more than Amber Alps it feels to me. I think it's too much personally. Especially if you use them in their tactile position where it's crazy tactile. I would prefer if they would make a version that is more reasonably tactile similar to Alps. Especially if they also made a dampened slider so you could have a Zeal version of a Quiet Click.
