Just ran into this and never heard of it.  Have you?

Probably pretty uncomfortable. With no resistance it'll feel like drumming on a desk

First time I heard about this type of scissor switch, must feels like poking the desk

The soft-touch likely refers to the keys. They're probably made from some kind of rubbery material.

That's what I was thinking as well.  What got me was the 20g though.  That's going to be really, really light if that's for real.

Definitely quite light. Some people need that sort of thing though, I suspect.
