How to pick a tactile switch
Tactile rankings are mostly about bump shape, fatigue, and whether the switch stays satisfying after a full day of typing.
- •Sharper bumps feel more decisive, but they can also be more tiring in long sessions.
- •Light tactiles are easier to adapt to if this is your first non-linear switch.
- •Price matters less than consistency once you know the bump style you prefer.
The right tactile switch should feel informative, not distracting.
