Verdict
TTC and Zeal PC are selling the same stroke here, so the TTC Silent Bluish White and the Zeal PC Zilents V2 separate on spring, distance and voice instead. There is a real weight gap too: 60 g against 42 g at actuation, so the Zeal PC Zilents V2 asks noticeably more of your fingers over a long session. One of them is ready out of the bag: the TTC Silent Bluish White is lubed at the factory and the other is not. The TTC Silent Bluish White comes out ahead of the Zeal PC Zilents V2 for gaming and for typing, and it is the dampened one, so a shared room is not an argument, so this comparison has one answer instead of a set of them.

TTC Silent Bluish White or Zeal PC Zilents V2: the long answer
Take the mechanical side first, since that is where this pair separates. The springs are a long way apart: 60 g against 42 g at actuation, so the Zeal PC Zilents V2 asks noticeably more of your fingers across a long session. TTC and Zeal PC are both selling you tactiles here, so both raise a bump close to the point the press registers. They register at the same 2.0 mm, then part company on depth: 3.8 mm on the Zeal PC Zilents V2 against 3.5 mm on the TTC Silent Bluish White. With the stroke shared, that spring gap does most of the deciding here.
What the table cannot tell you is how either one lands in a room. Put them through the player above and the TTC Silent Bluish White lands as soft dampened 'puc', bump intact where the Zeal PC Zilents V2 lands as near-silent soft 'muc' with the full Zealios bump. 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, both are premium priced, with the Zeal PC Zilents V2 at roughly $1.00 per switch, about $70 for a typical 70 pack and no reliable street price for the TTC Silent Bluish White. Factory lube is on the TTC Silent Bluish White alone. Budget the extra time if you pick the Zeal PC Zilents V2 and want it at its best.
Who buys which, then? One switch takes every axis we score: the TTC Silent Bluish White is our pick for gaming, for typing and for a shared desk. On speed, it wins on a lighter spring at actuation. On typing feel, its keystroke stays consistent and comfortable across a full day of writing. On noise, a dampened bottom-out is the only version of this that a shared room forgives. That leaves the Zeal PC Zilents V2 to anyone who preferred its voice in the player above, which is a good enough reason on its own. The player above is the cheapest part of this decision, so use it before your wallet is involved.
