Hi guys,
I just wonder your opinions.
What do you think ?
Thanks.

Cherry MX Green.

I personally think clears are the most tactile and they're possible to find in consumer keyboards unlike tactile greys.

Depends on your definition of 'tactile'. MX clear has a larger drop in force at its tactile point, but it isn’t quite as “crisp” as MX blue IMO. The sound also makes a big difference to perceived switch feel.
The most tactile feel you can get with MX is probably an MX clear stem and the lightest spring you can tolerate, and then a solenoid or buzzer for extra audio feedback at actuation.
When you get down to it, none of the MX switches are really all that 'tactile', compared to many other types of switches.

Well from what I read. 55g clears have a huge tactile bump. Again.. From what I read :(

No more tactile than Clears. In fact, I'd say they probably feel less tactile since the heavier spring hides some of the tactility.

Actually they are less tactile than stock clears, most tactile would be ergo-clears.

I guess I'll have to revisit them then, it's been a while.

Thanks for all replies guys, It helped me a lot !

Anything with a clear stem (which is same as grey). Lighter spring with no lube is very "tactile."
-
ErgoClears for sure.
Greens and Blues are not as tactile as most people seem to think:
tac·tile
ˈtaktl,ˈtakˌtīl/
adjective
adjective: tactile
of or connected with the sense of touch.
If you hide the sound of the clicky switches, you'll discover they're not particularly tactile. In fact the bump is the same size as on Browns and the drop in force at actuation is around the same or even LESS.
