Mechanical keyboards provide feedback through your fingertips that you’ve pressed the key hard/far enough to count as a keystroke. If you type quickly, and I guess this counts gamers, the tactile feedback through your fingertip is important to knowing when it’s ok to lift the finger and move on to the next key. When I type on a non-mechanical keyboard a lot of letters get reversed when one is a right letter and the next is a left letter because my dominant left hand moves too fast and the keyboard sees both keys at “the same time” and picks the wrong one.
