The clicking…. Oh I really love the haptic feedback of blue cherry MX switches…
WooHoo!
Thanks for posting at /reddit/r/mechanicalkeyboards!
I like their durability
The noise and the sturdy build.
I enjoy the feedback that is given when typing on them.
That´s easy, durability
I’ve only ever experienced mechanical keyboards that belong to others, as I’ve never been able to afford one of my own, but I love the tactile response from them, as well as the awesome sound and ease of key change.
I’ve never win any contest… Maybe this time? One does not win without participating 🙂
The clicking!
they just feel the best when typing anything. you can’t go back
The durability and feel of them!
Favorite thing is the NOISE! Buckling spring/cherry blues are my favorite switches for that reason.
Mechanical keyboards are great! They are durable and comfortable to type on. Also, on a mechanical keyboard you type over 9,000 times faster.
Rigidity and in the case of my MX Blues, the sound. Oh lord the sound is so good.
Build quality and tactile feedback, for sure
Best aspect of a good mechanical keyboard is the way it feels. The tactile feedback and the gorgeous sound makes it great fun to type on.
The feedback, the smoothness, the clickiness, the subtle off-black/white/red/brown/pink/purple color.
My blues at work have really relieved wrist pain. I think it’s the longer key actuation.
Agree with apb2390 the sound of the keys, the feeling of them moving under my fingers, etc
The sound. It is so annoying to everyone else in my office. I feel like the trolliest troll that ever trolled. =P
durability and raw quality 🙂
Build quality, Durability, The sound and of course the way it clicks
build quality
I would never have found the awesome community that is geekhack if it wasn’t for mechanical keyboards, so my favorite part of them is that it’s the only computer peripheral I know of that brings people together like it does.
I like me some black switches
Its classic.
I like their durability!
The response, the feel, and of course the quality.
Tactile feedback.
the clicks and the clacks :d
Tactile feedback and how sturdy they are.
Smooth keypress, tactile feedback, and quality.
Tactile and click, Blues are the best, my Acer is second.
Precision, solid feel, tactile feedback and build quality.
The clickyness
Durability and precision
I love the response from the keys, as opposed to the abomination of a wireless keyboard I’m using now. Yuck!
Easier to clean and the ability to push more keys together while gaming.
getting exactly the same feeling no matter which key i press. Also, the keys push my finger back up, which enables some seriously fast typing. Need to try some cherry brown though, all i’ve tried is cherry blue.
The way they feel. Far and away superior to a rubber dome or scissor switch keyboard.
The best thing about mechs is the customizability, currently rocking ergo clears with rainbow caps.
Fave thing is of course the sound and feedback. Currently on a Das with browns.
The superb build quality, tactile feedback, and overall feel of the keyboard.
Build Quality and Ninja keycaps
I love noise and the FEELS!
Tactile feedback, better than this laptop keyboard, and better build quality.
The feel is smoother than rubber dome keyboards.
The key presses just feel so much smoother and cleaner when compared to membrane keyboards.
The noise. Feels like I’m actually doing important work.
I like the noise they make!
The best thing about mechanical keyboards are the heavenly feeling when you type, and the click with each key press.
AY CARUMBA!
Durability and loud noises.
Definitely the build quality feel!
Mechanical Keyboards are really awesome cause they are built to last, and increase my accuracy and speed with a very nice touch and feedback to it.
The quality of mechanical keyboards and most of all the sturdy clean feel.
Feedback, sound and I also spilled some beer on my keyboard and am in need of a new one.
The clickity clackity sounds of MX blues is the best thing for sure.
The click clack! And all the pretty key caps that are out there.
I have no idea. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to find out.
It’s just very cool!
I just love that sound. MMMM
Mechanical keyboards feel so nice!
The click
I like the sound and feeling of using a mechanical keyboard. I also like that it’s a relatively niche (but growing) industry, so the manufacturers and vendors are focused on quality and customer service. Case in point: running contests like this!
Overall feeling of typing on each switch
very nice sound
The entire experience. The sound, feel, weight, and look of a high quality keyboard combine to make for a very unique experience.
Definitely the tactile feedback. I’m a great fan of clicky keys. The fact that the switches are mounted on a solid slab of metal doesn’t hurt either!
The feel of typing on them, as in the quality and the tactile feedback
i love the feedback with a mechanical keyboard. so satisfying.
yay I wanna win something too 🙂 like the feeling of dem keys man
I like everything about mechanical keyboards. They are just so much better than rubber domes.

My favorite thing about mechanical keyboards is the simplicity and accuracy of the keys and the press. The sound doesn’t hurt either.
The click and the tactile bump.
How they feel when I’m typing up my papers, the sound they make, and the fact on how awesome they are. Can never go back to a non-mechanical keyboard.

Long lasting responsiveness.

Your fingertips melting in mechanical bliss.

pure unadulterated typing fun. XD

I really love the feel, and the customizability of keycaps is pretty cool.
Build quality and the feedback they give.
The durability makes them un-comparable to other keyboard types.
That tactile feedback. Soooo good.
The clickety click
The rhythm, the click-click-clack.
clickclackx1000
I just love how they feel under my fingers!
Mech keyboards feel a lot better. Durable and very responsive! I had no trouble double tapping a key which is very important for games, e.g. Dota2!
Thanks!
The sound they make!
Typing feels great and possibility to create individual designs using custom keycaps.
Tactile feedback, ergo-clears and buckling spring FTW
The unmatched tactile response and indescribable superiority to rubber dome, of which I have not personally yet owned, but have messed with at work constantly.
Besides overall build quality, which could be had with a membrane keyboard, it is the general pleasant feeling that I get whenever I go back to typing on one from a membrane or scissor switch keyboard. It is really hard to describe, but it is some combination of increased comfort, the tactile feedback, and the more natural typing movements my hands make that all come together to make the experience of typing on a well made mechanical keyboard unlike anything else, and truly the best way to interact with a computer.
How they feel and the clickety clack.
Build quality, tactile feedback, springy keys and small actuation point allows me to type all day without getting tired fingers.
The look of it is smooth as a baby seals arse.
THEY LOOK AWESOME
I love how well built and long lasting they are.
I LIKE DAT CLICKITY CLACK. :]
Dat feel.
The typing experience and feedback.
Travel between actuation and bottoming out. Definitely my favourite.
Feels so much better to type on and lasts much longer
Tactile Feedback. And sound
noob?
Smooth yet Tactile
Awesome feel
Tactile feedback, non-linear resistance, don’t need to bottom out keys to activate (faster typing speed) and, of course, clicky clicky that annoys everyone around me c:
Switching cap and ctrl, and the feel when typing quickly.
Tactile feel
The tactile feel when typing… And the sound, of course!
So much more satisfying to use.
The Clicky Sound! Hells yes that clicky sound.

I don’t know what my favorite thing about mechanical keyboards is as I am yet to get one. Hopefully I can win and impossible will let you know.

My favourite thing about mechanical keyboards is the sound. And not having to bottom out keys all the time, of course.
The quality of typing and the solid feeling.
Annoying my colleagues with clack-clack noises.

Well, with Filco boards I know I can defend myself against bears or other large animals. In general though the tactile feeling makes my fingers dance.
The pleasure of typing.
My favourite thing about mechanical keyboards are they are amazing for Starcraft II
they’re not fashy: no brushed look, white piano tiles or led highlight. keyboard should be sturdy, heavy, robust and reliable and you’re not looking at it while typing anyway 🙂
Build quality and custom key caps!
The rythmic sound of the click and the clack, the swift movement of one’s fingers, and the ever-satisfying double-tap.
Nothing beats the feel of going from rubber dome keyboards to going to a Mechanical Keyboard.
The sounds of my fingers dancing on clicy clack
They make everything I type much more important, and I type for living, so imagine 🙂
Everyone says they are really good and I want to try one

Mechanical keyboard is the best the switches are the bomb!!!
Once you go mechanical you never go back, That’s for sure!
Expensive as they may be, you know you’ve got a lifelong tool when you buy one, and damn me if it isn’t worth it when you’re typing on it 8 hours a day.
It’s like typing on a cloud of boobs…
Just how mechanical keyboards feel. Typing on them just has always felt better to me, no doubt about it.
Mechanical boards are like clear water compared to the puddle of mud that is rubberdome.

Feedback that’s essential for serious gamers.
Because regular keyboards are trash.
