Why would someone want to use a mechanical keyboard instead of Apple Magic keyboard ?

@amatrelan having had to work with one of those laptops, I would pick the apple keyboard here.

But not before a mechanical keyboard, simply because I like to feel the pain of my strokes 1 key at a time, and you know any product with “magic” in it is never going to live up to expectations of being magical.

@amatrelan no offence but that thing looks crappy... Slim keyboards increase my typing speed

But why mechanical. I just don't understand why it has to be a mechanical keyboard. Slim is great

@ttshivhula I'd say it's up to personal preferences.
Among the advantages of mechanical keyboards are things like tactile and auditive feedback when pressing the key, if you want. There are different switches with different properties (clicky, tactile or linear if you don't want tactile or auditive feedback)

The newer MacBook keyboards suck donkey balls. The don't last very long because using tactile switches in a keyboard is just a stupid idea.
Louis Rossmann can tell you a story on his YT channel.
I personally think that mechanical keyboards, even if somewhat noisy, give the best feeling for typing.
