For feel, yeah, but unfortunately older keyboards tend to have limitations on simultaneous key presses. Makes playing some games a bit difficult or impossible even.
There are also practical problems. Early mechanical keyboards are massive things - the early IBM keyboards were something like 4.5 kilograms. And would completely fill a modern desk, leaving little space for a mouse to move.
Though, chiclet allows for very fast actuation. The world's fastest typist once came out of a chiclet keyboard. But yeah, mechanical is just better for your wrists, reliability etc.
Those old IBM / Alps and such switch keyboards were built only to act as a rock solid keyboard, nothing more, nothing less. Yes, that was the reason why they last so long and were so good. Topre is one company that made it out of 90's to this day with such quality, but their keyboards have always been niche. They also don't really care about refreshing their designs, either.
I have a Ducky Shine in Cherry MX Red and love it. Ducky are relatively cheap, but their keyboards are beautifully made. I find the RGB lighting could be a little better, but for materials, build quality and simple comfort the Shine is the best keyboard I've ever owned.
There's a subtle softness to Ducky's keycaps, and their frames are extremely solid and don't vibrate at all. The latter has no impact on gaming, but between the two and after a long writing session it's a godsend.
Gripes? To magnify the the RGB lighting, the board has a white underlayer. That looks sensational, even when the board is off. Especially with the optional orange highlight caps. But it means you're obliged to strip and clean it regularly.
They're worth it for writers. Trust me on that. There's more to it than looks, having nice comfy PBT keycaps, mechanical switches and a zero-vibration backplate makes all the difference in the world after a couple of hours.
Originally what would be seen as a gaming keyboard was something with some more fancy design in the plastic / more details or graphics which made it more "gamey" which of course make no difference or additional (macro) keys, displays or different look on the WASD keys where the additional keys of course could serve some purpose if you set them up in some game. And the display used for whatever but unlikely useful because you're not watching your keyboard when playing anyway. And keyboards already have plenty of keys.
PS/2 keyboards use interupts so they signal to the computer when some input has been given and they already support using all the keys in whatever combination so that already was good.
USB keyboards on the other hand defaults to 125 Hz polling rate where the computer check with the keyboard is any input has been given and the normal way they can't accept lots of inputs and any combinations at the same time. So as others have already pointed out a keyboard which support whatever amount of simultaneous key presses and 1000 Hz polling rate is more fail safe and give a tiny bit less input lag.
One disadvantage of these USB keyboards like with my CoolerMaster QuickFire TK is that in N-key roll over mode I can't enter and use it in BIOS but it can be switched to the 6 key thingymode and then you can enter BIOS (I also wouldn't recommend this board because I think the plastic hold a low quality and it's too light moving around on the desk while playing.)
I do however feel that higher polling rates and N-key rollover should carry a pretty limited advantage.
Nowadays the premium keyboards is more about mechanical switches and RGB lighting and the RGB lighting of course make no difference to usage unless you don't know what key is where and use the keyboard in a dark room. There are plenty of different mechanical switches with different feel and expected life time too them but almost everyone use CherryMX switches or copies of them since I think the patent for them has run out just recently. These switches are rated for tens of millions o activations (I think my Ergonomic KeyForce keyboards where too but maybe for the whole keyboard? They definitely broke) and last longer plus they are less "spongy" than the rubber dome keyboards and not as nasty as the flat laptop type switches plus like on my old cheap Logitech keyboard with rubber that's one is like dried up and stiff and may not even bounce back and such. It's flat and stiff. Nasty. The copies of CherryMX is very similar and there exist various versions of these where some have a tiny bit of resistance just before the key activates, some make a clicking noise when they activate but even if you don't have those if you press down the key fully it will make a sound anyway when it hit the plastic which stop it from travling, some people set rubber O-rings on them as dampeners to lower the sound further, there's a tiny bit of variance in how deep you have to press the key before it activates and how quickly it deactivates on the time up where the shallower stuff is marketed as "faster" but you will unlikely notice I suppose. Personally I prefer the feel of both red and blue over black and brown which is weird considering the red have no resistance and click whereas the blue have resistance and click whereas black is like red but just stiffer and brown have a bit of resistance and no click. I prefer the blue over the red I think but it may be less "gamey" and it make more noise but I prefer that noise over the brown.
What you gain is comfort and life-time. And I'd say it's worth it. Life-time alone will mean the keyboard pays for itself so to say if you use it a lot and don't replace it.
Not very many other switches are used. There exist RealForce keyboards with Topre switches which is a combination of rubber domes and mechnical switches which are popular but have a bit shorter life time than CherryMX. You'll be paying more to get such a keyboard though. And then both Mathias and Logitech use ALPS copies/like keys which is another mechanical key and just as with Cherry MX there exist many ALPS which make more or less noise and provide more or less feel feedback and what not. Das Keyboard have also designed some keys with them. Those in Das Keyboard and Logitech is produced by Omron and the first Logitech ones is similar to CherryMX Brown in that they give poor feedback and don't make much of a noise. I guess I'd prefer those though over CherryMX though. The last Das Keyboard design I know about would make use of some with feedback though. I don't know if that product is out and I don't know if Logitech has released a keyboard with those. Unicomp or whatever also make keyboards with switches very similar to the IBM type M which are also mechanical with a spring which collapses when clicked. Those provide a very strong tactical feed back and noise plus they were heavy so such a keyboard would remain more in place.
And as this guy say there has existed even more fancy possibly better solutions and there was more variation than only CherryMX used before and the keyboard you got with a computer back then was better than what you are likely to get today. Computer also were more for professional usage and more expensive. If the PC cost $5000 then you could ship with a better keyboard than if it is $500. Plus I guess salaries was lower then and such too.
If you like your keyboard and if it works then I don't think you'll notice much of a difference and think "wow!", well, in feel, but it depends on how you like the feel of both anyway, it will be subjective.
On the other hand since I've had 3-4 Keytronic ErgoForce, 3 Microsoft Ergonomic 4000, 2 Logitech Internet Access and this CoolerMaster QuickFire TK (and SVI 728, Amiga 500+, 1200 keyboards plus whatever Dell keyboard shiped with a PC and a very nice feeling AT(?) one for a 486) I definitely feel it's worth paying the small extra amount for one with actual mechanical switches and I'd also be fine paying twice the money for Topre or ALPS if I prefered the feeling of them but since I haven't compared I don't know.
I recommend the Corsair K70 Rapidfire MX Speed. Excellent build quality and pound for pound the best keyboard on the market.

Aside from it, yes, ghosting, but it was barely noticeable. Only some hardcore games (platformers, mostly) provide bad experience related to that.
Collegue of mine use mechanical kb, I use cheapest membrane kb, I don't see any big difference between them (I used his kb couple of times, when he was on vacation with his permit).
Probably it noticeable for only some of the users, as not all of us could hear the difference between cheapest aux cable and gold plated one for $200.
So I advise to try before buy. If it feels that it costs the money manufacturer asked - buy. Otherwise - do not.
The difference in feel between all keyboards are extreme though and the difference in quality is at least high. Ergonomics is also a very large difference but few seem to make ergonomical keyboards nowadays.
Ah, good ol' PS/2. Yeah, I miss that connector. Haven't had a keyboard or mouse with one in ages.
At least USB has gotten better with N-key rollover and higher polling rates.
