Very cool, feels similar to my own exploration of switches but much more organised! I only randomly pressed them, then as i got more similar ones realised I needed a similar approach of pairwaise blinded test to differentiate them. Started with the goal of around a 10-switch tester but ended up ballooning it to 21 atm. Lucky for me it is a bit harder to get some specific varieties or it would have hurt my wallet more.
I did start realising maybe I didnt like the huge bumps and high actuation forces as much after a particularly long session of pressing switches, so that may help approximate it.
Went from gat brown ew not enough tactile to yeah big bump of T1/Panda to more spread out wide Sapphire bump to ok maybe a cotton candy stronger brown is enough.

Suprised me that the small 5g differences can be quite big especially after long pressing sessions. Someone also thought me to press slowly with just the finger tip to identify the characteristics more. I rely on force curve graphs cause that is the most understandble way for me and also to compare from different sources. The differences they show are much smaller especially normal typing speeds and presses. Maybe it is the inexperience talking but it would be impossible to differentiate the hand full that are similar say 2 medium tactiles.
