Switch Performance & Teardown Analysis

MX Clears answer the "I press too hard and bottom out everything" complaint with more weight — a firm tactile bump that requires intent. Fatigue is real for unaccustomed hands (the "Clear honeymoon" fades for some); accuracy for heavy typists genuinely improves. The classic advice: try Clears before buying a second board in Brown disappointment.
