I have a couple of them, but to be honest I’m not even sure if I like them more, or less, than rubber membrane keyboards. There’s kind of a sharpness to the sounds they usually produce, almost a kind of plastic-on-plastic squeek, and I find that unpleasant. If I could afford it, or if they were affordable, I might give a Topre keyboard a try, but to be honest I really don’t care enough about keyboards to worry about that.
The only reason I get mechanical keyboards is because those are often the only ones with n-key rollover. It’s all about the games. It’s wild to me that being able to press more than 3 keys simultaneously is still not standard in all keyboards, and it drives me crazy that the vast majority of built-in laptop keyboards have this problem.
Avert your eyes:

I also think chiclet keyboards are perfectly fine… except again, the lack of key rollover.
I am a connoisseur of shitty membrane Bluetooth keyboards. All those bad boys need is some AAA’s and a USB port. Learn how to replace the spacebar and its longevity increases from 1 year to 10 years. Highly recommend, never understood the mechanical keyboard craze, suppose everyone has a hobby though.
For me it’s the customizability. My old keyboard I had ,before I switched to a low profile split one because I was staring to feel pain in my wrists, had cermic keycaps. Then the fact that they are basically infinitly repairable and I only need to spend a few hundred dollars for a keyboard I will enjoy forever as compared to probably 100$ for keyboards I will hate over my lifetime.
