 For those who prefer feedback from their keyswitch, the question is tactile or clicky? Tactile switches provide a satisfying bump before switch actuation. This bump can be subtle or more pronounced. It's determined by the size and shape of an actual physical bump on the switch stem. Tactile switches are a balanced option, good for long typing sessions, and they're relatively quiet in comparison to. As the name implies, clicky switches provide audible in addition to tactile feedback. The sound is created by a mechanism inside the switch, usually consisting of a metal leaf spring, sliding collar, or in this case a spring bar, which creates a rapid drop-off in resistance and audible click after a certain travel distance.
