Well the blue switch breaks meaning the force required to depress the switch changes. But this break occurs after the switch is triggered. This break is also when the sound is generated. Which again, after the key is triggered.

Buckling Springs is the only switch where the break, sound, and switch engage all happen in the same instant ,by the same mechanism (the spring buckling).
