Most tactile medium-to-light MX-compatible switch (including clicky switches)? (programming.dev)

I'm looking for a lighter companion to the Clickiez 40g (which actually has ~75-80gf peak force). The Clickiez and the Box Navies are the only MX-compatible switches whose tactility I've really found sufficient before, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little tactility to get a lighter switch for some special keys. What's the best I can do out there for a slightly lighter switch with good (some would say 'extreme') tactile feedback? (Clicky switches are fine if they provide better tactility, as they generally do.)

I've spent a lot of time looking at reviews, force graphs, and have even ordered some switches to try (yet to arrive). But I'm exhausted and ready for some human recommendations to help settle the question.

Any advice?

I did order some Box Jades! The person I'm building this keyboard for did like a board I have with Box Whites, which afaik have the same spring. Given their preference for extreme tactility, the Box Jade might be perfect for them as a lighter complement to the Zeal Clickiez. :D
