  1. I’ve only ever experienced mechanical keyboards that belong to others, as I’ve never been able to afford one of my own, but I love the tactile response from them, as well as the awesome sound and ease of key change.

  2. Favorite thing is the NOISE! Buckling spring/cherry blues are my favorite switches for that reason.

  3. Mechanical keyboards are great! They are durable and comfortable to type on. Also, on a mechanical keyboard you type over 9,000 times faster.

  4. Best aspect of a good mechanical keyboard is the way it feels. The tactile feedback and the gorgeous sound makes it great fun to type on.

  5. The feedback, the smoothness, the clickiness, the subtle off-black/white/red/brown/pink/purple color.

  6. The sound. It is so annoying to everyone else in my office. I feel like the trolliest troll that ever trolled. =P

  7. I would never have found the awesome community that is geekhack if it wasn’t for mechanical keyboards, so my favorite part of them is that it’s the only computer peripheral I know of that brings people together like it does.

  8. I love the response from the keys, as opposed to the abomination of a wireless keyboard I’m using now. Yuck!

  9. getting exactly the same feeling no matter which key i press. Also, the keys push my finger back up, which enables some seriously fast typing. Need to try some cherry brown though, all i’ve tried is cherry blue.

  10. The best thing about mechs is the customizability, currently rocking ergo clears with rainbow caps.

  11. The best thing about mechanical keyboards are the heavenly feeling when you type, and the click with each key press.

  12. I like the sound and feeling of using a mechanical keyboard. I also like that it’s a relatively niche (but growing) industry, so the manufacturers and vendors are focused on quality and customer service. Case in point: running contests like this!

  13. The entire experience. The sound, feel, weight, and look of a high quality keyboard combine to make for a very unique experience.

  14. Definitely the tactile feedback. I’m a great fan of clicky keys. The fact that the switches are mounted on a solid slab of metal doesn’t hurt either!

  15. I have to say, I have never actually used a mechanical keyboard. However, I have been wanting to try one for a while. This seems like the perfect opportunity!

  16. Mech keyboards feel a lot better. Durable and very responsive! I had no trouble double tapping a key which is very important for games, e.g. Dota2!
    Thanks!

  17. The unmatched tactile response and indescribable superiority to rubber dome, of which I have not personally yet owned, but have messed with at work constantly.

  18. Besides overall build quality, which could be had with a membrane keyboard, it is the general pleasant feeling that I get whenever I go back to typing on one from a membrane or scissor switch keyboard. It is really hard to describe, but it is some combination of increased comfort, the tactile feedback, and the more natural typing movements my hands make that all come together to make the experience of typing on a well made mechanical keyboard unlike anything else, and truly the best way to interact with a computer.

  19. Build quality, tactile feedback, springy keys and small actuation point allows me to type all day without getting tired fingers.

  20. Tactile feedback, non-linear resistance, don’t need to bottom out keys to activate (faster typing speed) and, of course, clicky clicky that annoys everyone around me c:

  21. I don’t know what my favorite thing about mechanical keyboards is as I am yet to get one. Hopefully I can win and impossible will let you know.

  22. Well, with Filco boards I know I can defend myself against bears or other large animals. In general though the tactile feeling makes my fingers dance.

  23. they’re not fashy: no brushed look, white piano tiles or led highlight. keyboard should be sturdy, heavy, robust and reliable and you’re not looking at it while typing anyway 🙂

  24. The rythmic sound of the click and the clack, the swift movement of one’s fingers, and the ever-satisfying double-tap.

  25. Nothing beats the feel of going from rubber dome keyboards to going to a Mechanical Keyboard.

  26. So easy to use day to day for normal stuff, yet then completely badass for an evening of gaming

  27. Im in the US and I love the roll over function! I would love to try your Filco Majestouch-2 NKR 104 ASCII with Red Switch, USA
    Thank you!

  28. I’ve only ever had non mechanical and they break, heard a lot of good things about mechanical!

  29. The tactile response is much easier on my hands. It’s the difference between doing something the right way, and the wrong way in my opinion.

  30. Hmm.. I have very little experience with mechanical keyboards but I guess the speed at which you can type and the feedback you get.

  31. Amazing Build Quality, Clicky sound, and tactile feedback. Also just the pure awesomeness of typing on them.

  32. What my Favorite thing about mechanical keyboards?:
    That would definantly be just the way it feels and the sounds, Construction!

  33. I love the tactile click of the blues. They are by far the best feeling keys I have ever had the pleasure of typing on. It doesn’t hurt that they are reliable and sturdy

  34. I love the feel and tactile feedback of brown and blue switches. They have improved my typing and my APM in SC2.

  35. Expensive as they may be, you know you’ve got a lifelong tool when you buy one, and damn me if it isn’t worth it when you’re typing on it 8 hours a day.

  36. Just how mechanical keyboards feel. Typing on them just has always felt better to me, no doubt about it.
