I think greasy and bacteria covered might just be a personal problem, and not a symptom of short key travel ;)

No, its a common complaint that the keys still look greasy post-cleaning on Mac keyboards. Apple doesn't texture them with an anti-microbial texturing, preferring to leave them deadpan flat. This speeds the accretion of oils and gives bacteria a nice, comfortable surface to grow on.

What is "anti-microbial texturing"?
