RetrogamerXThe force listed on the two switches is actually a little misleading The True is listed as 60g, while the Clear is listed at 65g. That's true, but it isn't the complete story.
Halo True: Tactile force - 60g Actuation force - 54g Bottom-out force - 100g
Halo Clear: Tactile force - 65g Actuation force - 52g Bottom-out force - 78g
The Clear switches will actually be a lighter typing experience overall, but not so light that you'll be making typing errors like I currently am while testing out Cherry MX Silent Reds.

RetrogamerXHere is my suggestion. Get the Royal versions! The normal versions are pretty awesome, I have both regular Trues and Clears that are great BUT the royal version has a heavier spring which for me is a huge difference in feel.. as in they feel better to me. The Trues are a bit lighter in tactility, and feel softer in comparison (both regular and royal versions) than the Clears. Royal clears are currently my favorite, along with Box Royal Purples. I think people in general like clears better as they seem to sell out quicker. Novelkeys has these in batches, and I think they have Royal clear/trues right now.

Johnny831I've heard some people calling the Box Royal Purples almost too tactile. Honestly though, after using Box Jades and Box Navies, I doubt there is a such thing as a switch that is too tactile for me. I really ought to try those out.
