Zeal Tealio V2
Introduced in 2018 and still regarded as one of the smoothest linears on the market. They are on the pricey side though.
Similar sound and feel as Gateron Inks but with a higher pitch.
There are 3 variations of this switch:
Standard Tealio
Turquoise Tealios
Turquoise Tealios
Quotes, thoughts and opinions
Stats and figures are one thing but here are some quotes, thoughts and opinions we've been able to find from across the web regarding these switches.
They feel VERY good. Smoother than your typical Gateron linear, with less wobble as well. When I was testing switches by themselves, I didn’t think they were going to be as smooth as they actually are. Once in a board, my first thought was that they almost feel very lightly lubed all over.
I do not know how Zeal did it, but he made a smooth switch even smoother. Compared with the V1s, the V2s feel slightly smoother.

Notes
These are some of the smoothest stock linears on the market but improved further with a thin layer of Krytox 205 Grade 0. The spring noise is vastly improved when lubed.
