Quick answer
If you want a pronounced tactile bump with medium-heavy force, choose the Stomp Tactile. For a lighter linear feel that still offers feedback, the Creamy Jade is a smooth alternative. The Reaper is the lightest linear option, ideal for speed and minimal resistance.
Tactile feel vs linear smoothness
The Stomp Tactile switch delivers a clear, satisfying bump with a 60±5gf initial force and 62±5gf bottom-out, giving you confident feedback with every press. The Creamy Jade and Reaper are both linear switches, meaning they offer no tactile bump—just a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke. If you rely on tactile feedback for accuracy, the Stomp is your match; if you prefer a consistent glide, the linear options are better.
Force and weight trade-offs
The Reaper is the lightest, starting at 36g and bottoming out at 55g, making it ideal for rapid, fatigue-free gaming. The Creamy Jade sits in the middle with 45±5gf actuation and 50±5gf bottom-out, balancing ease of use with enough resistance for deliberate typing. The Stomp is the heaviest, requiring 60±5gf to start and 62±5gf to bottom out, which provides a controlled feel but may tire your fingers during long sessions.
