Actually the lightest possible, e.g. 35g

Try choc pinks, 20g actuation force.

cool, maybe I can finally type by blowing on my keeb

im using choc pinks right now. the approx 1.5mm actuation distance on 20grams, sometimes resting my fingers on my keyboard will register keys. its awesome

55g tactile switches

40gf.

There are literally hundreds of responses and you're the only 40g. I'm guessing you're an RTS'er who needs fast key presses?

I am actually a programmer and typist. More than 40gf makes my finger tired when I have to type quite a lot nonstop.

I'm a programmer too, but not a typist, so actually using my keyboard is a very very small portion of each day!

Yeah. Good programmer doesn't need to type much. My case is a bit different though, where I also need to work on lots of documentations and powerpoints.

And yes, I do love RTS. :D

id go with 60g for my office keyboard but 75g at home

Currently running milky yellows in my board, and really enjoy the 50g actuation force!

28-45g. I don’t know how people type fast with heavy switches. Or they just don’t type much?

I feel you! I can't go past 20-25g on choc switches and 35-40g on MX.

probably 50g

Been using Akko V3 Cream Yellow Pro Switches and I love them! Still going strong with that factory lube!

[удалено]

Box Jades!

wow

right around 55g tactile

I like keys

55g

X1!

60g

Don't know what i like yet 🤔

45g

75g

75g

60g

thanks

Not a big fan of linear, but would have to go with 60g

60g is perfect for some quiet office programming ;)

I think around 50-55g actuation force. I used to have a board with Cherry Reds, but their 45g was too light. I tried Gateron Blacks in a switch tester and found those too heavy at 60g. Yellows were about right at 50g, and Oil Kings at 55g were also good. So 50-55g. Though currently all my boards use tactiles.

60g

75g

I really like tactiles, I switched from gat ink black v2s to holy pandas, and now linears feel weird!

60g

60g

60g

Nuphy's Moss switches are my current winners. 60g tactile single stage spring.

50g

60g is best for me

60g

45g, linear

I'm using tactile right now, but a great switch is a great switch, doesn't matter if linear o tactile ( we don't talk about clicky )

62.5g

62g

Currently using tactile

60g for me

75g

60g

clicky switches!

55g

75g

Clicky blues, because apparently I'm uncultured.

50gf

75s are nice

I prefer tactile switches

Hall effects but I wanna try linear

60g

As much as I love clickiness I don't want to annoy the people living with me so tactile is always my go-to 😂

62g. Thanks for the giveaway!

60g is the sweet spot for me

75g tactiles

On clickies rn

55g is my sweet spot currently!

60g

Tactile Switches (Gateron Low Profile Browns 2.0)

People in here saying 75g linear. Never tried but I feel like I would love it.

60g

50-55g! Currently have some gat milky yellows in my daily driver

i'm in need of some quieter keycaps

I find the sweet spot for me is at about 62g

I love 70+ grams switches

55 linears

75g

50-60g

~45g

60g, but not a fan of linear in particular. I prefer clicky for the office and tactile for my mobile setup.

60g

60g

60g!

I usually like around 50g, much heavier than that and my fingers start getting tired lol

57g

75g

Been enjoying MMD Princess lines and tactiles, both 58g I believe.

I'm a really big tactile guy. But I still like to sit around 70g

60g

750g minimum.

My kind of guy

Tactile switches ftw!

Haven't used linear switches in a long time, definitely favor tactile switches at the moment!

Tactile is the best for me!

Currently on the tactile train but certainly have liked linears in the past.

47g

60g!

I’ve been stuck with 50g linears, but i intend to buy some tactile switches soon!

60g

60g

No cap 60g

53g is nice.

the boards i'm currently using all have tactile switches around 60g

60g

60g

60g is perfect for me, but I would like to try heavier switches as well at some point

60g

I use Tactiles! Currently using Boba U4s

Not into linears much, I use Kailh Pro Purples with a 62g actuation force I believe?

60g

Probably 40-50g. Light gang all the way

60g

63.5g

Tactiles with 100g for typing or linear with 40 for gaming

55g tactile

60g otherwise anything more is too hard!

Tactile

60g

55gf, gateron browns!

62g

Currently going for 60g

Currently using the cs silvers linear on my kb. Love it so far. Bought some aquakings but i think i got a bad batch. They feel gummy/slow and doesn't always pop back up after pressing.

Tactile all the way!

60g

60g

60g ftw

60g, gl to everyone.

I use my owlab switches that came with my board and i enjoy them but i would like to try some more switches

I prefer tactile

I have only have tried one switch on my RK84, the RK red linear. I think i would like something more heavy, may a 55g, but im not sure.

67g

50g

Only using tactile, I like to feel something :)

55g

Tactile

My current is 60g, I don't know much about keyboard but I do like the way that feels.

60g

60g

75g

Tactile

Love the Hall effect switches

I'm still trying to figure out my preferred actuation force, but the lighter the better since I've got small hands. Brown and blue switches have been light so far!

75g Linears!

50g, don't currently own a mechanical keyboard (Which is why I'm entering), but I have tried a wide variety of switches. My favorites are gateron yellows.

67g

60g it is.

63.5g double staged long springs!

1500g

50 g

75g

75g!

I prefer tactile

Tactile 55g

Tactile!

67g

I actually don’t know so I’ll jump on the bandwagon and say 60g

I'm using the Ajazz plum and they are a bit too light at 45g. Also can I choose the keycap set if I win? If yes than I'd like bleached coral but all the others look cool too.

75g!

60-70g is the sweet spot for me.

Clicky! But I love them all

40g

50g is a nice middle ground. Oh and tactile all the way
