Are mechanical keyboards better for typing?

Many typists prefer mechanical keyboards because each key has a consistent actuation feel that membrane boards lack. Tactile switches give a bump you can feel at the actuation point, which some find helps accuracy; linear switches feel smooth and uninterrupted. The 'better' switch is subjective, so hot-swappable boards - which let you change switches without soldering - are a low-risk way to find your preference.
