I figured my comment on your other post was more suited for here. So, here it is:

These look great and all, but a common complaint with Cherry MX and Kailh box red switches is that they're already too light. Is there a reason that these silent switches are even lighter? Are the springs the same as in the other box designs? I might have to order some stiffer ones.

You keep pumping out some cool ideas. Keep it up.

The values in the datasheets are interesting...

The Silent Red (pink) switch has only 35gf listed actuation force, which would make it similar to the super-light linear Gateron Clear.

The Brown switch has 45gf listed actuation force and 65gf listed tactile force, which could potentially make it approach the feel of an Ergo Clear (or clone from Zealio, Durock or Outemu).
The published force graph has the tactile point even earlier in the travel though, more similar to a Kailh Pro Purple.
