Okay, okay. Here’s my confession of laziness. I own 3 DCS sets. I have every type of switch you can think of. So, you guys got me curiuos enough to acutally put in some work.
I put my old (2008) cherry browns in my M60-A and put DCS Red Alert on them. I just can’t do it. These browns are too chalky. It is interesting though how much you can feel it through the keycaps.
Then I searched around for some lighter tactile switches. Most of what I own in tactile is medium, with a few medium-heavy. Top contenders were lilac, taro ball, and pewter.
For each of the switches, I tested with SA, Cherry (GMK), and DCS. Most of them sound best wtih GMK. Taro ball sounded best with SA. But we all know that sound is very subjective and will vary from board to board.
For feel, they all have the same tactility. But the Red Alert caps gave me an interesting sensaton of speed/lightness unlike the others.
TLDR - DSC feels pretty good on pewters too
