Good: They usually have N-key rollover (or NKRO), meaning you can press many keys and all of them register. Most membrane keyboards can miss keys when you press more than 2, e.g. if you type "CD" by pressing shift+c+d.

Maybe good: lower latency down to 1 ms.

Bad: Larger key travel slows down your typing, which you can fix by stacking a few o-rings under the keys. Clicky keys are super annoying, but thankfully there are silent switches out there.
