What would "mechanical soft tactile feedback" mean, especially at that price point.. Or was it like super expensive back then.

Sounds like Alps? Who knows what kind of advertising tricks manufacturers did in the day. :p

Bigass Enter and small Backspace is a deal-killer for me.

Weren't the Apple switches, salmon/orange, and cream/white dampened, as well as black Alps all considered "quiet tactile"?

"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."

Ha ha ha, but no. That is the problem. I love those switches, to varying degrees, but wish that they were all more tactile.

As a matter of fact, I am typing this on a (temporary swap-out, just for variety) Dell AT101W with orange Alps transplanted in to replace the original blacks. This is a very nice keyboard!

That's also why I liked the dampened white alps better than any of the cream alps I've tried.

My dell now has Matias clicky, and has become something I will rotate between. So much better than the original black alps, and I suspect it was actually a good example of them, and the shiny caps.

For the one in the OP, I actually suspect domes.
