I think that you are pressing harder because even though
many people like it, the click is an annoying sound, and
it tends to make you mad subconsciously.  If you think 
about it, it's a techno-phobic feature:  the terminal
companies were afraid that people would freak if they
typed in silence after all those years of "Tap tap-tap "
etc., on a manual.  Personally, the sound of typewriters
(I did learn before I'd ever seen a video terminal)
annoys me, but I guess I'm just peevish about things like
that.  Friends tell me they like Key-click because it 
lets them know they've hit the key.  I've got my own
internal software for that.
