If so, what has been your experience, please?  Thanks.

A better but similar idea is ergo modded MX Clears.

Look up "tactoblack". It's terrible, because the tactility diminishes.

MX Clear is a much better option. If you don't like its rapid increase in force after actuation, then "panda clear", i.e., MX Clear stem w/ MX Black spring.

So-called "ergo clear" is more like a much more tactile MX Brown… to the extent, that it's almost nothing like MX Brown. You could do something inbetween though, i.e., MX Clear stem w/ 67g spring.

I've put 50g cherry springs in mx browns and they felt great. Not as great as my ergo clears though
