Thank you. This is exactly what I've been looking for.
I've asked the question "what's the closest switch to buckling spring" several times over the years, and I've gotten responses ranging from "there is nothing, but" to suggestions from people who've clearly never typed on a Model M. Or F.
A big issue I see is the belief - by even switch makers - that buckling spring meant a deep, close to bottom actuation. "Typist" switches all seem to be like this.
It's good to have the perspective of a buckling spring fan.
