The quiet switches you talk about are probably linear, they indeed go all the way down without any feedback. There is also a middle ground - MX Brown and MX Clear - they have some tactile feedback but without the click. They're not ideal though and some people refer to them as "scratchy". Here's a handy comparison of all Cherry MX and some other Cherry switches:

Yep. MX Red. I don't know why they're so popular. They're absolutely awful.

They're most popular among gamers, since they activate really high on the travel, and are easy to spam. I've typed with them, and you don't really need the feedback, since they activate pretty much the moment you start pressing them down.

Of course, that's a double-edged sword, since I've also activated them while just resting my fingers on the keyboard just a bit too hard.
