Hi Strong Fingers,

do you want to feel it? Or do you like to have the smoothness of linear plus just the sound (click) at actuation without feeling it?

You won't get a linear switch with a click.

I had a program I downloaded before for linux that simulates the sounds of your keyboard but i can't find it. I'll try to find it. It kinda works like a keylogger but.

I want Matias to add a click to his quiet switch cos it's a better switch supposedly to his clicky switch.

What happened strong finger? I'm getting milky switch is that strong enough for your club?

^^ This.

The clicky switches need the bump on the slider. Software click is the only way with linear switches: https://www.grc.com/freeware/clickey.htm

Or get a really wobbly linear (clone) alps keyboard like my Aron 106. It's as smooth as cherry mx red but oh what a racket it makes lol!

That isn't possible lol the click adds tactility.  Notice how blues or greens are more tactile than clears or browns.  The best you'll get it lubing blues or greens, but some people don't think that feels nice.

Or  a clicky-landing pad.

Otherwise yasuo, you might be SOOL, sorry  :(

That will just act like a linear. No "click" since the white part will just move down with the slider (no bump to resist the leaf force and keep it in place).

Then your best bet to get this is to buy a typewriter, since you won't find a clicky linear switch anytime soon.

Not sure how I found this thread as I hardly browse the forums...but whatever I'll bite.

Gotta try a bit harder than just looking at Cherry.
Tbh, the easiest solution is to tack on a clicker speaker or solenoid. But I do agree that's cheating.

The easiest to find would be one of these.

It uses Clicky Fujitsu Leaf Spring. The tactility is masked through the leaf spring so there is *almost* not tactility. Has to be a 46010, the other model numbers are domes AFAIK.

A recent discovery. CC Mouse Trap switches.

Another would be this Kaypro keyboard. Unfortunately I don't know exactly which Kaypro this was for. Just approximately when it was built. This uses a linear foam'n'foil mechanism with an Alps like click leaf so there is virtually no tactility other than the vibration from the click.

DUCKY XM GREENS. THEY ARE LINEAR SWITCHES WITH A SEPARATE CLICKING MECHANISM. THEY HAVE LINEAR ACTUATION WITH A CLICK.

 :eek:

So like HaaTa said, everyone else stop being MX-stupid.
