It depends on your purpose. If you are going to be typing in an office, but you always wanted a gaming keyboard, then it is not necessary to go for the mechanical ones. Yes, they will last a long time for sure, but they are also too clicky. So, it is better to not get the mechanical one for an office. But if the sole purpose is gaming, then we would recommend you to get a good mechanical keyboard. They are good looking, have good travel and feel really good. But on top of that, they will last for a long time.
