Got this NIB a few weeks ago.
Uses "replaceable" magnetic reed switches. Which means there's a click when you press and release, but it's too faint to really be called clicky. Switch is linear.

Oh I missed that ! Wow this pcb is really magnificent : designed by hand with curvy roads, logo, brand, serial number and all of this folded… I like how diodes are mounted.

Hmm, smooth'ish linear. But nothing amazing. Decent for reed switches though.

Those aren't diodes, they are the reed switches.
