What did you expect? It's a clicky switch and a BOX switch which are known to be loud clicky switches.

Recommendations on good linear switches near the 60g range? Tactiles work too, I'm mainly looking for a deeper THOCK sound

Though the case/plate and keycaps matter.

If your keyboard is hotswappable you can pull out the switches, disassemble and remove the clickbar from them

Live and learn I guess. Get BOX browns if you want a similar switch without the click. Or BOX royals if you want a higher actuation weight without the audible click

It takes about thirty minutes for an absolute noob to switch out the switches, and the switches will work fine after words. t. using a hotswap board I put together myself.

He's talking about opening up each switch to remove the clickbar being too much work.

Not that swapping out switches is too much work.

Anybody got a recommendation for a zealios substitute? Or at least something similar that I can try before I go and drop more for a full build? I'm gonna be getting an ikki later on in the year and was thinking I'd fill it with something tactile since I've never tried that out before but a dollar per switch is pretty crazy. I thought to buy a planck and buy forty for that but I'm really wondering as to whether stock zealios are actually worth that asking price.

get a JWK tactile or Bobas. Zealios are overpriced and Zeal refuses to innovate.

They had a restock recently but have since sold out again at most places.

They're very popular recently because they're cheap as fuck and better than almost any other tactile switch. Plenty of people prefer them over Holy pandas or Zealios.

Yes, most tactile switches click unless they're silenced. But it's going to be less audible than a switch with a fucking clickbar installed

IIRC ks-3’s are a variant of gateron yellows, which are named after the color of the stem.

So yes. Theremingoat has a good write up on them.

KS-3 is the "series" of switch, in this case it means it uses the milky housing and milky top or black housing and black top.
Some people pay extra for them because they supposedly sound nicer, but they're a little scratchier than the black bottom clear top KS-8 series.
