I had one with Cherry MX Clear switches, and found the switches still too hard to press, perhaps because the keyboard itself seems very tall. The CODE keyboards are rather thick (but incredibly well constructed), and due to this height, my wrists had to bend upward more than was comfortable to me.

I've since bought two Realforce 87U keyboards (with all 45g switches [1]). Topre switches don't seem to require nearly as much force or travel distance as the Cherry MX switches offered on the CODE keyboard, but still feel crisp.

The backlighting and key layout (normal-sized super key, media key location, etc.) on the CODE keyboard are pretty hard to beat, though.
