Tactile switches get their name from the distinct tactile bump you feel when pressing one. These switches are designed to be audible, but not too loud that it disturbs your surroundings. Tactile switches offer the best feedback out of any mechanical switch. The sound and feel when typing on them make it easier to type accurately without any misclicks.

The tactile bump generated is a great indicator of when a keypress is logged without having to fully bottom out your keys. button
