Isn’t a “click” just physically making two connectors touch so that a circuit is made to send the signal of an action? There doesn’t have to be any noise associated does there?

For example, if we used 2 springs, one to hold up the button and another to make the contact with the circuit, the click would be silent. Or maybe something already exists that I can swap out into my mouse?

    tactile feedback is for your finger to feel, as per the name, and doesn’t necessarily make an audible click.

      I’m aware of what tactile feedback is. The audible click is generally a byproduct of the mechanism that creates the tactile click. I don’t know that I’ve ever used a keyboard or mouse that has a satisfying clicky feel without some noise accompanying it. You can definitely do things to make them quieter though.
