With respect to productivity - any gains you save from moving to a mechanical keyboard will not make up for the time you spend researching, purchasing, and thinking about the mechanical keyboard.

I replied to other comments, but I like my Kinesis Advantage 2 for the ergonomics. I liked my Das Keyboard because it felt like I was interacting with a premium device, and was just a nice, solid way to use a computer. Yes it would make me more productive than a broken keyboard, but no, I don’t think it’s a huge gain (I also use laptop keyboards from time to time).

Investing money in what goes between you and the ground makes sense. Another thing to consider spending money on is what you touch throughout the day.
