To be fair it depends on the keyswitches used, and the keys you trained on.

I learnt to type on real mechanical typewriters, where some considerable force was needed. It's taken some time to relearn gentler typing.

Personally, I just keep scaling up the springs in my switches. Started standard, then went up to 85g, sitting at 180g with 250g switches waiting to be put into a board. No gentle typing required and I never bottom out strongly while typing.
