What's the actuation and bottom-out force of a buckling-spring key switch, let's say, like the switch on a 1995 Lexmark-made model M 1391401? In grams?

I'm trying to "on paper-compare" the force of a '95 Lexmark 1391401 to Cherry MX reds (45/75) and blacks (60/85).

Most Google search results seem to address only the model F's buckling springs or other unrelated keyboards.

Thank you!

70g peak.
Thanks. Did not see this chart anywhere till now.

So they're a bit heavier than vintage MX blacks...
