Howdy, all. I'm needing to order a bulk of 6x6 tactile pb switches. I would like to have switches that offer the strongest feedback or, operating force. Though I've searched for information about this, I can't find the general info I need. How is the operating force rated or assigned on tactile pb switches? What maybe would be the strongest I could get in a 6x6 momentary switch? Thanks for any help.

Tactile switch being what they are, think you'll find all much the same and should be given in any spec sheet.

They only make tactile switches for PCBs.
They use a different scale of force measurement for tactile switches.
Gram-force is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the force exerted by one gram of mass in a standard gravitational field, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared.
Written as gfmm (millimeter), it is sometimes used to represent energy or force. They are all low-voltage application-specific components.
The higher the number in gfmm stronger the Feedback, same goes for defliction, how hard you have to push
the button.

Voltage? Current? Ambient Environment? Rugged/waterproof/explosion proof? Etc.
