I tried a few mechanical keyboard and I was not convinced by the sound and feel. I used an obscure but well made low profile scissor keyboard for 15 years and I was quite happy with it. But this is nothing compared to what I built last summer. I also don't like long travel so I added specific mods to have shorter travel, with two small O rings inside the keycap, I also added weights inside the keycaps to improve the feel. Tall keycaps are not an issue for me as long as the angle of the keyboard is well designed to avoid fatigue. But there are options for low profile switches and keycaps, and they can be modded and improved just as cherry style switches. Japanese keyboard like Topre are also known to use a complete different tech for switches that can be very satisfying (but full plastic)
