Their more responsive & accurate, and last longer.... but their also more expensive.
Just dont spill any drinks in it.... they dont deal as well with it as membrane keyboards.

Also they are "noisy" typically.

 

Why membrane keyboards are popular is because they are "less noisy, cheap, can take a spill of drink in them and still work".

Mechanical keyboards are for people that want responsive and accurate, like programmers or serious gamers.

One thing is sure, it makes a huge difference in RTS games. The smooth flow is amazing. For the first time in 15 years it feels smooth and accurate to play Age of Empires II. And not just feels, I'm a much faster player and I've already significantly increased my global ranking score in the two weeks I've had it.
