For me the main factor for using mechanical keyboard is the amount of force required to press keys (Actuation Force) - its much smaller compared to cheaper membrane keyboards and it makes a huge difference if you type a lot (much less strain).

Travel Distance, distance a key needs to travel to be actuated, is sometimes within 2mm (eg. cherry mx browns). If you learn to use just enough force to type, you glide over keys. No need to bottom out.

If I ever need to type something on a standard keyboard, I feel like moving stones.
