      No worries at all you spelled it just right. It's basically the pushback your receive when you press against the key. The more tactile it is the more resistance you will feel (relatively). The more linear it is the less resistance you will generally feel.

      They can be very helpful for people with weak muscle memory as well as people who need an acoustic validation when typing rapidly the tactility + sound provide a high degree of key stroke validation. Of course on that note they are the least favourable for high APM gaming due to the added resistance from the bumps.
