They are overrated. The mech keyboard community is also ridiculous, and I find it funny to read them mocking fully featured keyboards for being too large and gaudy while simultaneously praising keyboards that are actually missing any number key larger than 6 (which is a very stupid mech keyboard build currently being upvoted on /r/mechanicalkeyboards). I do daily a G.Skill KM780 mx red but it's because it has literally everything I want in a keyboard and not because it's a mech (quick macro keys, onboard memory, full media keys, volume scroll, built like a tank etc.). I'd honestly prefer if it was membrane, because I hit the same 110-115WPM regardless if it's a low profile membrane or a loud ass mech.

And you watched it to completion?
