Looking for tactile switch recommendations (lemmy.onlylans.io)

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am looking for a goldilocks tactile switch it seems. I want a tactile switch with the tactility of a Zealios v2, with the sound of a Gazzew U4T.

I love the P-shaped bump that Zealios v2s provide, and it helps me with my typing accuracy, however I prefer the sound profile that the Gazzew U4Ts have.

People swear that U4Ts are extremely tactile, but I just don't feel it. I think that it's in part due to the fact that the tactile event is more rounded ("D" shaped), or that the event occurs over a longer travel distance coupled with the reduced travel of the long stem. That being said, I love how the U4Ts sound and would love to find a switch that feels like a Zealios v2 but sounds closer to a U4T.

Open to any and all suggestions, thanks!

Thank you for the suggestions! Both look pretty interesting. I think I may buy some Azure Dragons to test them out.

Do you have any opinion on the Doom tactile switches by KeebFront?

Coley did a pretty detailed review on these if you haven't seen it!

Personally I'm not sure how i feel about the sound they make on the way back up, but i bet they feel nice!
