- tammer 13y agoExactly. The difference is those switches allow a wide range of force, from 45g up, as long as the typist is quick enough to retract before hitting the backplane. Kicking instead of pushing. Apple keyboards are too low for that to be possible (without some finesse), but for me ~60g is just fine.
