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?

    That’s a great question - sorry for the slow reply! I bought some from a mechanical keyboard online shop that had a sale, but maybe you can find some as cheap elsewhere.

    I bought SPRiT MX Multistage 55 M1 and SPRiT MX Extreme 45s Slow springs. I’m thinking I’ll try the 55g ones first. They were just really cheap, so I bought the 45g, too.
