Switch Bump Shape
D-shaped bumps (Holy Panda) give a sharp, snappy event; rounded bumps (Boba U4T) a smoother, deeper one. Switch choice is 70% of the sound on a tactile build.

A bump at every actuation.
You feel the key engage before it bottoms out. Tactile switches are for people who like feedback with every press.

How Tactile Works
Two beats per keystroke.The original mechanical signature.
Impact: High
Gasket or Top Mount
Gasket mount gives a softer, rounder bottom-out; top mount a sharper, more contrasted two-beat. Tray mount flattens both beats into one mushy event — avoid.
Impact: High
Medium Foam Strategy
Medium foam — plate foam plus a thin case foam — keeps both beats clearly defined without ringing or hollowness. The hardest tuning balance in keyboard sound.
Impact: Medium
Lube — Stem Sliders Only
Lube the stem sliders only, never the legs near the bump. Lubing the bump smooths away the very tactility you wanted.
