Maybe I'm just ignorant, but to this day, I still don't get the advantage of mechanical keyboard.
I've read up articles about them, but they don't seem to translate to real-world advantage other than being more suitable to one's preference.

I've only tried them in computer stores, so I admit I've never used one for long term before, but they are kind of too pricey for me to buy one just to try it out.
They're more durable. That's the big improvement.

Aside from that, it's all personal preference. As I work on a computer all day, I decided to try a mechanical (brown) keyboard, and I haven't looked back since. Now I find rubber-dome keyboards far too mushy to touch-type (well, to the best of my abilities).
