Verdict
Zeal PC and Outemu are selling the same stroke here, so the Zeal PC Healios V2 and the Outemu Silent Peach V2 separate on spring, distance and voice instead.

Zeal PC Healios V2 or Outemu Silent Peach V2: the long answer
Put the two side by side on paper before you trust your ears. Weight is the loud fact here. At bottom-out the Zeal PC Healios V2 takes 63.5 g where the Outemu Silent Peach V2 takes 50 g, and 13.5 g is enough to change how the third hour feels. They register at the same 2.0 mm, then part company on depth: 3.8 mm on the Zeal PC Healios V2 against 3.3 mm on the Outemu Silent Peach V2. Both are linears either way, so both give you spring resistance and nothing else. Everything else about them is close enough that the spring is the honest tiebreak.
Sound decides more of these arguments than force curves do. Played back to back, the Zeal PC Healios V2 is cushioned near-silence, softest of the silent linears against soft muted thud, unusually little mush from the Outemu Silent Peach V2. Dampening pads are on both, which puts the whole comparison inside a narrow band of volume and moves it onto tone. Both packs are synthesized rather than recorded, so read the comparison as a faithful sketch of each voice and not as a measurement of it.
On the practical side, the Zeal PC Healios V2 is premium priced at roughly $1.00 per switch, about $70 for a typical 70 pack, while the Outemu Silent Peach V2 is mid priced. Factory lube is on the Outemu Silent Peach V2 alone. Budget the extra time if you pick the Zeal PC Healios V2 and want it at its best.
The scoring gives up trying to divide this pair: the Outemu Silent Peach V2 is our pick for gaming, for typing and for a shared desk. On speed, the two are close enough here that either works, and our scoring gives it the nod by a hair. On typing feel, nothing about it gets tiring by the afternoon, which is the whole test for a writing switch. On noise, its dampening keeps the sound from carrying across the room. That leaves the Zeal PC Healios V2 to anyone who preferred its voice in the player above, which is a good enough reason on its own. Match the trims above, play both, and trust whichever one you keep replaying.
