they're worn but some seem to have a softer touch, more sprung and

The wall can amplify or channel the sound, but the sound comes from the
switch itself.Â* If you push it slowly you can feel the snap through your
fingers.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.Â* A visit to CEF provided an MK

better, but still with an audible snap.Â* I shall try some of the others.

The ones I bought about 7 years don't have any logos ?.

Mechanical switches will always have a bit of a 'snap'
to stop you closing them intentionally slowly and creating
an arc.
hysteresis is a valuable quality in switching.

important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
