I have one too, made by CM Storm. Completely different from what I was used to in rubber domes.

Click click clack clack
I love that sound.
I love that sound.
I found one of these chunky old style keyboards in my attic the over day. I plugged it in and was surprised to find it still works. The sound they make does feel more reassuring and I seem to be able to type better with them too. They look very retro though, even the modern ones.
They just have a better response rate, even better than ultrapolling USB membrane keyboard.
very nice stuff you have here

Well... I would keep using a common one, except that I really want a keyboard that doesn't have ghosting, that would help me a lot.
Using a mechinical one makes too much noise.

Thing with mechanical keyboards is they are super loud, it's like the 1990s again. If they could make a quiet mechanical keyboard I would be interested, I prefer to not have everyone hear me clacking away when I type. Haha.
They do make quiet ones, but being able to hear exactly when it clicks is one of the larger benefits of them - or maybe they've accomplished that still with the quieter ones. The clicking sound isn't like the ancient beige serial keyboards with the goofy elasto-cord with the very dull but loud sound, but is generally quick and precise, a bit more like a typewriter (but without the loud belt sound.... or maybe that was just mine... 
).I think the only reason people like these keyboards are for nostalgia purposes. They do sound nice and whenever I use one it does seem to feel more reassuring for some reason, but I think it's just a physiological thing more than anything else.
Here is the sound diference between the diferent switches.

i wish i had one 
So the main difference is that mechanical keyboards have a spring for every button?
You gonna love wooden ones even more.
This one is a "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" kind of keyboard.
No, THIS one is a "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" kind of keyboard, complete with...
Awesome keyboard. Wish I had that stuff. I am still using that old laptop keyboard. :/
most of those are for gaming right, outside from that i dont see it any benefit.

sooo where do I place my order?
wouldnt those keyboards catch on fire, if it was used for a long time. like due to heat?
I concur. Mechanical keyboards are the best. I type at about 100WPM and there's nothing more satisfying than the sound of the keys going click-clack so fast. It makes me feel like I'm getting serious work done.
The lights can be turned off, each key has its own light.
My keyboard has Brown Cherrys good for typing and gaming.
The sound it's just amazing.
I think with this kind of keyboards I went full retarded.
Just love then
