The All-Clack switch is a very tactile switch but with a long pole it means that the bottom out is sooner and gives a hard bottom out feel by comparison to normal tactile switches.

The Snag Switch is a reasonably smooth linear switch, which when compared to the NK Cream is definitely notably less scratchy sounding and feeling.
