Come on, you can't post porn without telling us what it feels like. Mushy, tactile, linear?

I’ve a little experience of Clare Pendar mammoths. They’re linear. Magnetic reed so no contacts to push at actuation, a bit like Micro Switch Hall effect. Should be real smooth, though tend to be nowhere near so compared to the legendary Micro Switch.
The wiki page for S820: the main switches in this board.
The single latching S830 may be the first sighting of one of those on a keyboard.

Travel distance feels pretty long (i like), bottom out nice and solid but not so "clacky". Sound is nice but since it is mag reed there is a faint squeak from the contacts opening/closing.
Unfortunately they are pretty dusty and therefore bindy and i am not sure it is possible to safely open them
(I already tried cutting open the base with exacto knife but cut my finger on the first switch)Re: 1971 Clare Pendar Keyboard - Magnetic Reed S820 switches

I love when Clare Pendar pops up. The switches feel kinda terrible, but they look so cool!
