Korean 65g and 67g. I think there are 80g Korean springs too. Yellow Kailh switches had springs with actuation @50g in linear switches IIRC.

67G Black :cool:

I have not tried it but from what I can gather, it would be my ideal as well. Where can I get 67g springs?

My favorite springs are the ones in light MX switches, and having tried Topre, I enjoy the 45g Topre better. I do a lot of typing, so it's not feasible to use one of the heavy springs (how do you type on those things?).

Ever come home from a late night at the office and want to just lazily slam press keys?  That's when I made friends with Ghost blacks.

Ghost blacks? Blacks with Clear springs?  :confused:
I'm not really a fan of using much force in my keys, my fingers are usually pretty tired from sports or gaming so it's pretty painful to have to use force there also.

I use my ghost blacks when I'm tired and want to just drop my hand on my keyboard instead of actually typing.  Don't forget that to actuate a clear spring and to fully depress it are two VERY different weights.  Ghost blacks are easy to press unless you don't know how to type without bottoming out.
