I wouldn't even buy those if their were half as expensive as rubber domes. They're just noisy and feel weird. I like the soft touch on rubber domes a lot more. But to each their own.

If all you do is use your PC to watch movies, browse the web then yeah.... getting a heavy, noisy keyboard that does little to improve your experiance, is a waste and a annouyance (noise).

But if you write all day long on it, and you want it to be accurate & responsive (input lag) then it makes sense.

I can understand why a proffesional gamer or a serious programmer uses them. For most people its just a waste to get one though.

I probably don't play enough keyboard intensive games. I think they're exclusively for professionals and douchebags who like to pretend they are. And of course people who like the feel of it but they're about as obnoxious about it as vegans.
