[gold stinger]

best way to word it imo:

When slowly pressing keys, you will instantly find that overall, it takes less force/work to get a key press out of the key. In fact, you only have to press the key down about 40% of the way in order to produce a key press from it, which is quite weird. Most non-mechanical keyboards require full compression of the key to produce a key press, or at least >80% of the key pushed down.

Also, non-mechanicals are 'snappy' in nature. Meaning, they go from uncompressed to compressed super easily. With mechanicals, you can finely control at a slow speed how far you press the key in without effort.

When pressing keys fast, you will find more resistance pushing keys on a mechanical keyboard all the way down more taxing, usually because heavier weight, higher quality components, etc.
