Hey guys, me again. :cool:
Just wanted to gauge interest on how many people would be interested in a new clicky switch? It’s not going to resemble anything close to what Cherry or Gateron has to offer. I’m planning to exhume the Aristotle stem from its grave and making some slight modifications to it to make it into a modern Zealio switch. From preliminary testing, the click is crisper, and the tactile position is higher than Cherry – almost like Alps. The clicky sound is also louder than Cherry/Gateron Blues (without the high pitched plasticky sound) and gets even louder with a thick keycap ontop.
What makes the stem different is that the clicky slider runs on the INSIDE of the stem sliders, unlike Cherry/Kailh/Gateron/etc. This gives it a lot more of a tactile feel than current MX compatible clicky switches.


Pic dump. Every pic in here is a macro shot, enlarge to your heart’s content.

Slider within a slider. Sliderception?


Dat bump doe. Just imagine a way more tactile MX Blue!


Due to the Aristotle slider design, I had to level it with some business cards :P. Here you can see the tactile bump is larger and higher than those of MX Blues.

MX Blue’s click slider goes on the outside. Aristotles on the inside.




Sound comparison (that moment when you raise iso to 2000 for a vid :( ):
“Esc”, “Q”, “A” are Gateron Greens with blue springs
“1”, “W”, “S”, “X” are Gateron Blues with clear tops
“2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “E”, “R”, “T”, “Y”, “D”, “F”, “G”, “H”, “C”, “V”, “B”, “N” are 65g Aristotle Zealios
“6”, “7”, “8”, “9” are a quieter batch of MX Blues
“U”, “I”, “O”, “P”, “J”, “K”, “L”, “;”, “M”, “,”, “.”, “/“ are a clicky batch of MX Blues.


If you’re interested, I’d love to hear your comments!
