That doesn't mean they are allowed to forget using the right words. "Mechanical keyboard" is a very specific term for keyboards, it means that the switches used are of the 'CherryMX' type or similar. Scissor-switches are totally different, and do not fit the 'mechanical keyboard' description at all.
