Why Get a Mechanical Keyboard?

Why buy a mechanical keyboard over a cheap membrane one? I've played with mechs for a while now, so I just share my personal thoughts :)

I honestly never knew keyboards were such a deep subject, I didn’t even know a keyboard convention was a thing

Keyboards are only good for gaming, for typing just use a controller.

To confuse coworkers with your 60% and smaller boards, that is why.

The keyboard community feels like the stationery community: Once you get in, you can't get out and those outside the community don't understand your interest.

Because once you start you just can't stop... Just can't stop... In the last two years I bought 4 keyboards. Money that could have been spent upgrading my graphics card to a 1080ti. And I'm not for yet. I still wanna have more!

This is pretty brief, and I kinda touched on other things as well. But let me know your reasons on why a mechanical keyboard is worth it!

I love the click clack sound of mechanical keyboard.

I love the sensation of typing with loud clicky noise with BLUE SWITCH.
It feels going back to old times.

One big point you forgot to add. Keyboarding and making keyboards is an art. When you custom make a keyboard, you have the ability to express your feelings through the way you make the keyboard. You can be creative and basically do what ever you want.

I use my PC mostly to play games, so when I got my new gaming PC I got a mechanical KB almost like just a cool prop.

I was incredibly surprised when my years old wrist pain which I had just accepted as part of life quickly went away. Best purchase ever.

The "problem" (rabbit hole) with this hobby is not just get a mechanical keyboard, its all the options you have. Each switch (that is incresing every year with more models and switch mods), each keycap profile, each material you use for the plate, case, lube or not lube, etc can change completely the feel of the keyboard when typing, so you never end
