Linear switches feel smooth and consistent, with no tactile (physical) bump or audible click as the keypress registers.

The sound was driving me crazy, it was like one of my daughters cheap rattlers, or pieces of lego in a bag. There are three main switch types: linear switches, tactile switches, and clicky switches.
