After using the same old keyboard for 2 years I finally decided to go ahead and buy a new one. One that was mechanical as well. It just arrived today. A Das Keyboard Professional Model S with the Cherry Blue MX Switches. Loving it so far.

Feel a lot better?
Are you still bottoming out the keys? (I still do)

Yeah feels a lot better, also, bottoming out the keys?

Elaborate

Bottoming out keys = you press the key until you can't push it further. The key actually actuates when you push it down half way (after the click you hear and feel). I believe the idea is that you can get faster typing speeds by not actually bottoming out the keys.

To be honest I can't tell if a mechanical keyboard is really that much better. The clicking noises are cool and all, but IDK if I'm actually typing any faster on it...

Oh ok, I don't really do that very often, only when I very first started using it. Other than that I try to type fast so I don't make sure to bottom out the keys. 

But it will be a while to properly compare it with my old one since that one had very thin keys and the keyboard was a lot wider so this new one feels as if they're all cramped together.

Wider? Interesting keyboard. I believe these are standard sized keys.
Was the old one, one of those split / ergonomic keyboards?

I'm too used to bottoming out keys - been using mine for over a month and still do it. But the clickity clack makes it all worth it :)

nah it wasn't an ergonomics keyboard, the point is that they keys were a lot thinner and more spread out and I used that for like 2 years. 

and yes, I really love the clackity clack when typing.
