Linear vs tactile switches

SMOOTH PRESS

Linear

No intentional bump or click in the travel. Compare force and travel when you look at individual models.

FELT BUMP

Tactile

A bump gives your finger feedback during the press without a built-in click mechanism.

BUMP & CLICK

Clicky

A click mechanism adds audible feedback. A finished board can still sound different from a loose switch.

BEFORE A SWAP

Check the exact board and socket

Switch fit depends on the board variant, PCB and switch system. Choose an exact switch option in the builder to check supported combinations and calculate how many switches you need.
