I have one quite click keyboardio, with another on the way (one for work and home).

Sometimes I can touch down on the palm and not realize it. Has anyone thought of changing the palm Fn modifier key to a Clicky switch so that there is an audible change to the keyboard key functions?

So I would need 2 switches per keyboard. Is this the correct thing?

Perhaps a less dramatic change would be to make the keyboard play some LED effect when the palm keys are pressed? No hardware change necessary, but if your keyboard is in your view, you should be able to notice the effect playing.

Yes, I thought about that. Keyboard isn’t in my view.
