So what's the lightest keyswitch?

[thatllbeme]

Reds and browns are 45g, as are Topre domes in the HHKB; Gateron clears are 35g, and some Topre domes on variable boards are 30g. Has anyone ever seen anything lighter? I'd love to have 20g-ish switches.

45g topre domes are not comparable to 45g cherry switches, as the force graph is different.

Don’t breathe when typing, then, as you could unintentionally actuate keys.

That is precisely the effect I'm going for. Maybe I should look into mouse keys - I would like a longer travel distance than that though.

Cherry MY with springs removed (25 cN).

Rather a Micro Switch keyboard than a microswitch keyboard xD .

That is... impressive. Probably going to be me in the next few years at the rate I'm going. I love the idea, and 10g keys! Perfect. Thanks!

30g Topre feels almost linear though...

Not to me! I love it. It's like 55g and 45g Topre, but faster. The tactile swing is still there, very much intact to my fingers.

That's on a full 30g board. Admittedly, it feels off on an ergo weighted Realforce.
