Clicky switches
Clicky 16 in the database
Clicky switches add an audible click mechanism on top of the tactile bump. The click is produced by a physical click leaf (not just the bump), so it is loud and unmistakable. Clicky switches are polarizing: enthusiasts who type in shared spaces tend to avoid them, but many users love the definitive sound and the old-school mechanical feel.
Best for: Home offices, gaming setups, and users who want maximum audible and tactile feedback.
Actuation across these switches: 45–80g. Typical price: $0.12–$0.55 per switch.
