Computers What’s the story on Mechanical Keyboards?

Keyboard at the accountants office shit the bed. It’s one of mine. Hers was so damn wore out the keys would catch and it made me crazy so I got pissed and brought my own. It’s probably a decade old and shit the bed.

All that really only matters to the extent that I was looking at reviews of keyboards. Virtually all the sites mentioned several mechanical keyboards. Huh. Weird. Whatever. I got on the accounting subreddit and searched keyboards. Virtually all of those dorks recommended a mechanical keyboard other than a couple recommending a Logitech MX series.

So I have to question what’s so good about them? Im sure they’re better than the Apple IIE ones we had in school when dinosaurs roamed the earth, but I went to great pains to reduce the keystroke distance by buying a Surface Bluetooth keyboard at the farm and the house.

Best I can tell is the response time is a little better for gaming and some people like the tactile click of the switch. Which the tactile feel of the surface ones are good enough for me.

What am I missing?
