Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

I've switched to this keyboard from one with cherry-red rubber rings, and I can confirm that it makes roughly the same amount of noise. The final impact is slightly greater, and certain switches make a jarring hopping noise.
Without it, I consistently missed when printing with the red ones, so I also tried it with cherry brown. The actuation force on the reds and the romer are same, but the romer feels significantly heavier because to the tactility, which is fine because the reds are too light. The click can be felt exceptionally well during operation but is inaudible. After the switch was made, typos became significantly less common.

Like many other longtime Mitsumi Classic users, I highly suggest this keyboard in its substitute.

Pros

+ It's really well made; it's an aluminum plate on which the circuit board and its associated switches are screwed. It doesn't flex or move around on the desk, moreover there are no crevices where dirt and dust might collect, and the LED can be removed and replaced individually, and the guides for lengthy keys are out of sight. Good switches (Omron makes romeG per Logitech's request) + I'm able to attach my card reader using the built-in USB extension cord, and the standard left shift is a nice bonus.

Cons

While the drawbacks aren't deal-breakers, they do - Keycaps (the plastic piece that goes over the switch) on these large keys are flimsy, so be careful not to tug on the sides and damage them. Logitech only supplies replacement keys for the US keyboard layout, so you'll need to use a puller. It's also not guaranteed if you damage the casing in any way. While there are currently no third-party keycaps available, cherry tomatoes can be found in vast quantities. All keyboards based on these switches (g910, g810, etc.) have a design flaw that causes the key to stick somewhat when pressed near the key's corner, and romerG is no exception. It used to bother me every time I clicked ctrl, but now since I'm used to tapping the middle button, it never does. There is nowhere to store the rubber bands in the switches, making it impossible to cushion the impact at the end of the turn. The switches themselves, in contrast to cherry tomatoes, have a damping mustache that softens the urar at the turn's conclusion. The numlock bulb is missing. It's not a huge negative, but you should probably just ignore it. The cable is cumbersome; it flops around on the desk like a hose and resists bending. It's not a big deal for me either.
