usually not that bad. Mine feels quite linear. I think hypersphere likes his as well.

Damn. guess I had the most worn down ones ever. Literally almost not feedback at all. So mushy it makes rubber dome feel snappy

This has been my experience. I think that decades-old foam is usually lifeless at best.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

there are several generations of keytronic capacitive, most feeling pretty bad. The vintage "logo" switch with sphericals from the late 1970s and early 1980s is probably the best.
