#Getting around the mushy feel?

Hi I love cutting edge tech hence the purchase of the full num key version of the wooting keyboard to pair up with my Swiftpoint Z gyro mouse. I have now gotten a couple games working with the wooting but I can see some things that I had to compromise on to get it working.
One of these is the mushy feel and long travel of the keys for just normal typing. I have the action set to .5mm which makes action quicker but the key feel is very unsatisfying. So here is my first question - and even if this doesn't exist I'm happy with my purchase but though I'd check - Are they options for switch feel similar to cherry green or cherry brown available (now or in the future?)
I'd love both a non-linear non-mushy feel with a distinct 'click' and also have the pressure sensitivity on the full travel amount both before and after the 'click'

The other question is more a suggestion for the software which should be doable on the current keyboard... adding an option to use pressure sensitivity to convert the pressure (depth) to a repetition of clicks rather than emulating a gamepad? So pressing down 1mm maybe a single click with no repetition, 2mm repeats at 5hz, 3mm repeats that key at 10hz and longer press as a press and hold sent to the computer. This would be useful for games that have no options for controllers...

Thanks in advance for responce.

Thanks for the feedback. Switch development runs a bit slow and as more manufacturers join Hal effect keyboards, we’ll see more switch options.

You can shorten travel distance by installing o ring on the keycap but it does create a mush ending.

The tick rate suggestion was considered in the past but we never got to implementing it as it was more of a hack around than a solid solution. Lowering it development priority.

Perhaps it needs to make its return but we’re now focused on further solidifying and expanding on latency advantages
