Clicky hall effect switches (from microswitch) do this as well. It's very odd.

I thought when you said Futaba linear, you meant the switches from the 70s/early 80s with the screw-in legs.
See, you're not the first person to report having Futaba clicky switches that don't click. From what I've read, the reliability of the clicker is dubious (like MX blues ;-) but I do have to wonder whether there actually are linear versions of these switches. It's hard to tell, because the switches are welded shut and cannot be examined without needing to be glued back together.
Maybe one day someone will find a burnt/smashed keyboard with non-clicky Futaba "clicky" switches, and take a switch apart to see what's inside of them: are they linear, or broken?
(It would be better if anyone at Futaba ever responded to me, but they may no longer have the specs for these anyway. Actually, maybe I should ask Sejin?)
