Thanks for the reminder, I forgot about those affordable switches.

TBH, I've never tried light linear. It's just a guesstimation that light switches will reduce the stress on my fingers.

I'm used to linears, but my old Apple uses quite heavy vintage Alps SKCC.

My other board is an IBM Model F XT, with 600mN (~67gf) capacitive buckling spring and the layout is killing me.

Having tinnitus and hyperaccusis issue, that board just drives me crazy (loud and lots of high pitched spring noise).

Capacitive buckling springs are still lovely, with a more modern layout (see the modern remakes) if you can deal with loud and very clacky mechanism.

Tried Topre from a coworker board (RealforceTKL) and sadely didn't like it. Tactile switches really are not my thing.
