So I'm not alone. I really can't understand the appeal of a mechanical keyboard.

- They are loud

- They are expensive

- The keys are massive and ugly

- Massive travel time (So slow to type on)

Sure they are a bit more customizable, but is that really worth all the drawbacks? Especially the worse typing, which is the main point of a keyboard.

If you are a mechanical keyboard fanatic, and my comment angered you, please know that was not my intention. I really don't see the appeal, and I haven't been able to find any advantages (mentioned online or by asking friends that have them). I would love it if someone could explain to me what the actual advantages are, and/or why I am wrong on any of the points I mentioned.
