Just got my Massdrop x GMK PLUM set in the mail this afternoon, so I figured I would go ahead and post my ErgoDox EZ with the set on it! Here is an Imgur album if you want to see all of the pictures I took! Enjoy!

So cool. Thanks for sharing. I too have an EZ with gat reds, plus silencing clips on the way. (It'd be cool to hear your board with those zealencios, by the way. I have the QMK ones coming.) I'll post a pic once I'm back from travels : )

David_RMy opinions on the Zealencios are that they are great! They took a little bit of finesse to install, but once you get the hang of it they go on quickly. As for how they affect the "feel" of the Gateron Reds, I would say that the most noticeable change is that the actuation of the key changes from a linear "click" to a linear "thump." Basically what this means is that the travel distance of the keypress is ever so slightly shorter and the feeling when the key is fully depressed is like hitting a padded wall versus hitting a solid wall. The second most notable change is obviously the sound of the key actuation. Instead of a light click, the sound is now a very soft "thud." Even when bottoming out the keys, the sound isn't loud enough to be distracting or picked up on a properly configured microphone. Overall, I would say that the Zealencios are positive addition to my Ergodox and I don't want to give them up anytime soon! If you have any more questions feel free to let me know!

Insanity_OneThanks for the info and sharing your experience. That does sound preferable. I really like the bassier thud of a wood case, so anything to emulate that tone is a plus in my mind. I'm going to split them between my Planck (78g Zeals) once it comes in July and share a video of the differences.

From where did you get that coiled connecting cable?

noxxitI just custom ordered it from Mechables website! In addition to all of the sales he does here on MD, he runs his own business with his own website and is great to work with. The coil that you see in the picture is 6", I wish I would've ordered a bit shorter but it definitely doesn't look bad!
