The Taro & Sweet Potato is a linear switch with a heavy 65.9g spring. It actuates at 45.5g after 2.2mm of travel and bottoms out at 82.8g over a 3.9mm stroke.

Measured at -34.6dB, it's right in the middle of the 195 switches measured on ThockHub for volume, giving it a balanced character at roughly 2,796Hz. Its 65.9g spring is heavier than 75% of switches in the database, so it feels deliberate and controlled under the finger.
