> It is possible to lightly touch them but this requires more mental effort imo than just using a chiclet keyboard.

This is easily remedied by using a very lightweight switch. Many different mechanical switches are available from well under 45gf to actuation force. (Thinkpad and macbook laptop/desktop keyboard range from 60 to 65gf of actuation[1]) You can see a small set of available switches and their force actuation curves here: switches.mx. You should possibly look into getting a switch tester with many types of switches to get the exact feedback force you prefer.

There’s a ton more websites (theremingoat.com) and public github databases for this data.

Thanks, but I'm happy with my thinkpad keyboard!
