Anyone have thoughts on keyboard switch type?

http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_switch_mechanisms.html

Most keyboards (rubber dome, scissor) require the user to press a key to the bottom (i.e. A hard stop). Mechanical keyboards (e.g. spring, MX Cherry) register a keypress part way down. Cherry Blues, for example, have a pronounced sound and tactile feedback. Do these features make people better typist?
