Yes you can. There isn't a quantifiable metric on "switch hardness" but yeah.

The 3PDT switches I've gotten from Tayda lately are the softest I ever tried (while still being affordable). They have the standard look, blue, but the plastic is more shiny than some other blue, clicky ones, and the edges of the switch housing are rounded, not sharp. Maybe that helps, if you happen to see some that look like that.
