I was trying the sample switches I got and found the Feker Aphonia really nice, it's mostly the very soft and cushioned bottom out feel that I think I liked, though I don't really care about having silent switches and it did feel like it needed some better lubing as it wasn't really that smooth.
Does anyone have any recommendations for medium weight linear or tactile switches that have that sort of cushioned bottom out and feel smooth out of the box? Preferably under 50€ for 90pcs.
KTT Mallo is soft in-general. It's probably 'medium-weight' when using the stock 67 G spring option. [But you need to at least lube the leaf-area + spring to reduce extraneous sounds.]
SP Star Meteor Orange is a fairly mellow light-tactile that is at pretty light weights by the time it has been pushed down.
I found that the spring weight of Gateron Pink gave a nice experience. Maybe you can find out about that spring, and use something similar in a linear.
It seems to me that Momoka Frog and WS Yellow linear are worth investigating as mellow linears, as well.
Some of the more reasonable long-poles are Naevy 1.5, lubed Blueberry Chiffon V2, and especially MODE Tomorrow.
BTW Silent switches will often be very soft (and mushy) at bottom-out. Especially Aliaz. And Bobagum.
