    Maybe soft linear switches could be an option for you. No Tactility, no clicking.
    Not bottoming out keys must be learned though.

    Switch | Force | Actuation | Travel
    Cherry MX Red | 45g | 2mm | 4mm
    Kalih Silver Speed | 40g | 1.1mm | 3.5mm

      I can't see any reason for them do release such a product. Only some profits from grabbing money from s76 fans?

      Personally I tried several mechanical keyboards with blue switches but after all I returned to Sun Type 7 USB. Best so far from all keyboard I used. I also tried HHKB Lite 2 which turned out to be really good one.

        Mechanical switches come in a large variety of key switch types. Some of them are pretty heavy, some of them are pretty loud, some of them are very quiet, and some almost press themselves if you breathe on them. The major advantage of a mechanical switch is that it's very easy to choose your own adventure. My switches have both an audible and tactile click—basic Kailh BOX white switches.

        The problem with this keyboard is it's going to be a compact, essentially laptop keyboard. The advantage of it is that someone can pop in whatever switches you find you prefer.
