Here’s where most people oversimplify the whole tactile/linear/clicky debate—the real story lives in the force-displacement curve, not just marketing categories. A linear switch like a Cherry MX Red traces a nearly monotonic F(x) relationship where F ≈ k·x in the pre-travel region, so you’re essentially compressing a single spring with no local extrema. The derivative dF/dx stays roughly constant (the spring constant k, roughly 45 gf for a Red), which means zero tactile discontinuity at the 2.0mm actuation point. Tactile switches (Brown) introduce a local force peak—a positive spike in dF/dx around actuation—so the curve isn’t monotonic; you get that “bump” the moment the stem hits the damper. Clicky
