Whats a Smooth, Thoccy Tactile?
I just ordered all of the parts for my dream keyboard, (Spr67 blue and DCX Sapphire) except for the switches. I’ve built a few other keyboards before and enjoy thoccy keyboards. However, I love the little bump you get when clicking tactile switches. But I also love deep, thoccy switches. All I’m curious about is a good, thoccy tactile for a reasonable price (below $45 for 70/72). I also would prefer it either pre-lubed or just smooth in general. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You may know this already but will say it for your reference. Take a look at Topre/Topre clone switches or Electro Capacitive switches overall, they're deemed very comfortable by a lot of users, myself too. Just bare in mind actual Topre switches are not cheap but their construction quality are top notch, clone counterparts are a nice starting point for price. Alternatives are MX switches, Cherry Blues or Cherry Browns as a starting point. There are also ergonomic keyboards like Ergodox and many alike if you're serious about comfort. You may have seen this chart already but have a look at the keycap Profiles if you haven't. Profile comfort will vary from each person. http://i.imgur.com/kFxqOm8.jpg Hope this helps you in your findings.
