I had to switch to low force choc couple years ago over tendon pain. Ended up on totem for day to day & bad wings for travel. 20g silent nocturnal switches. Silencing mechanism also gives bottom out a rubber feel, worth it just for that

20g? How do you use it? I'm light typist, I'm not hammering on keys at all and even 32g is too nervous for me, I can't rest my fingers on keyboard without typing a novel. Can't imagine 20g keys.
You get used to it quickly. Low force useful for combos
Totem and bad wings are gorgeous, but I'm here to thock.

I'm actually a Topre purist.

I could probably $searchengine this, but not being into keyboards: none of that made any sense to me :D

It's a weird hybrid keyswitch that isn't widely used because it's expensive. It has a distinctive sound and a fantastic feel.
