I have a Cherry keyboard which originally had brown switches but I didn’t like the bump because it was slowing down double presses. I replaced the stems with black switches’ stems and left the springs of the brown switches. They give me a very good feel now.

It doesn’t seem like you can adjust the feel of the switches with that though. The trigger depth is not the only thing about mechanical switches but also the force, how the force changes upon trigger, how much force “to” trigger, etc… etc…
