I’m looking for a lighter companion to the Clickiez 40g (which actually has ~75-80gf peak force). The Clickiez and the Box Navies are the only MX-compatible switches whose tactility I’ve really found sufficient before, but I’m willing to sacrifice a little tactility to get a lighter switch for some special keys. What’s the best I can do out there for a slightly lighter switch with good (some would say ‘extreme’) tactile feedback? (Clicky switches are fine if they provide better tactility, as they generally do.)

I’ve spent a lot of time looking at reviews, force graphs, and have even ordered some switches to try (yet to arrive). But I’m exhausted and ready for some human recommendations to help settle the question.

Any advice?

    Previously, I’ve avoided keeping old switches around whenever I’ve swapped them in my boards. I’m realizing now that this puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to possibilities like this.

    What do you use for switch storage to make this manageable?

      I use Dollar Store glass containers for caps and switches. My nicer caps stay in their boxes but the cheap clones or generics go in the glass.
