> There's really no value that a mechanical keyboard that can give you that a standard chiclet keyboard doesn't give you There absolutely is, if you spend all day typing. Chiclet keyboards give poor tactile feedback that for many, leads to more typing mistakes. There is also value in the "pleasantness" of the experience - it's hard to quantify, but if it feels better to use something then you are certainly getting value from it (for another example, a cheap and uncomfortable vs expensive and comfortable chair). I don't know what percentage of mechanical keyboard users this is, since there are certainly many that view it as a hobby or collector's interest, but I am one of the other side that use them exclusively because they make typing easier and more comfortable.
