If you're coming from, say, the most recent Apple keyboards, then the Mini Tactile Pro will feel different. The current Apple keyboards are basically a laptop-style design: very little key travel, and make use of scissor clips rather than either buckling springs or rubber domes. They have a soft feel that is also very quiet, but many feel these are not good keyboards for typing on, and I'm one of them. By contrast, the Mini Tactile Pro has (relatively) heavy keys with a good deal of travel. They have a satisfying "click" every time they are pressed down, which also provides audible confirmation that you've pressed a key. Again, anyone who grew up with a typewriter or even an old IBM PC in the late 80s or early 90s will probably find this keyboard very reminiscent to the Model M design.
Now, for the biggest downside (depending on who you ask): the keys are quite loud! They are much, much louder than any rubber dome keyboard you'll get with a typical new computer. They are loud enough that they may very well awake someone sleeping nearby, or break someone's concentration. But as I mentioned above, the noise also provides audible feedback when a key has been depressed. If you still want a mechanical keyboard but are concerned about the noise, consider the Mini Quiet Tactile Pro, which is effectively the same product, but has quieter keys, about as loud as your typical rubber dome. However, keep in mind that "quiet" mechanical keyboards usually sacrifice that classic, satisfying click.
One thing you may be asking yourself is... why would I want a mechanical keyboard? As you can see, this isn't a cheap keyboard, and I would wager that most people probably get along just fine with the rubber dome keyboard they probably already have. But anyone who types for a living will tell you that mechanical keyboards are the way to go. They have weighted keys which provide tactile feedback, and the clicking noise to provide audible feedback. Many people who use mechanical keyboards find that their typing speed and accuracy improve compared to most rubber dome and/or laptop-style keyboards, as their mushy and small key travel, combined with no noise, makes it less obvious when one is typing inaccurately. But another point to consider is just how much time you spend at your computer on a daily basis. For most people, it's quite a bit, whether at work or at home. That means a lot of keyboard interaction. Just like a really comfortable pair of shoes can drastically improve your day-to-day comfort, so can a keyboard. A high-quality, mechanical keyboard can simply making typing fun, in addition to the ergonomic benefits that many mechanicals also offer.
Now, remember that this is the Mini Tactile Pro for the Macintosh. It has the standard Mac layout, which means its media keys (volume adjustment and music/video playback) will not work on Windows or Linux. Not to mention the industrial design is white keycaps set in a clear, white plastic casing. This design harkens back to the Apple keyboard sold from roughly 2002-2007. And it's called "mini" for a reason... The keyboard lacks a number pad, just like the current Apple keyboards. It saves space, but if the number pad matters to you, don't get this model. Matias also sells full-size keyboards that are Mac-specific. And if you want a Windows equivalent, there is the Quiet Tactile Pro, which has the Windows key and quieter keys.
Overall, I love this keyboard. Much, much better than the standard Apple keyboard offered these days. It's not cheap and it's not wireless, but to me, a good keyboard is worth its wait in gold, and not something that one should skimp on.
Silicone-domed keys have warranted an inherent need to pound the hell out of any keyboard a user is typing on. This is the result of zero tactile response. We don't hear, feel, or see keys registered unless they "bottom out". This means we are pressing our fingers down, very hard, until we feel the base plate. This is really bad for your hands.
I'm not going to bother explaining switches, or their flavors or types, since others probably have already. What I will say is that this is the third mechanical keyboard I've bought, and it's also my favorite.
For background: I am a software architect, working primarily from home (the last part will be important).
I first tried the Das Pro 4( Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac, Soft Tactile (DASK4MACSFT) ). It's about $180. I cared for this keyboard the least. The keyboard had fantastic build quality and layout. What I didn't care for was the exaggerated key travel and narrow-ish keycaps. The keys were also very rigid, without any play. I actually prefer some play in the keys as I have smaller hands, and it helps me "bend" between keys without losing my index. Personal preference only. I didn't try the "clicky" switches. There is some misinformation that DAS uses Cherry Blues for the clickies, and Brown for the quiet. They use Greetech, not Cherry.
The second I tried was the Matias Ergo Pro ( Matias Ergo Pro Keyboard for Mac, Low Force Edition FK403R ). It's about $206. This keyboard I actually liked a lot. The build quality is probably the highest out of all 3. The switches and keys were great. Low travel (very good for fingers) and quieter operation. What wasn't so awesome was the split. The tilts (for tenting especially) wasn't very sturdy, and would wobble as you typed. The keyboard, being two components, would also slide around willy-nilly, requiring you to adjust your position. All fixable things by the end user, but I wasn't feeling comfortable with it. Personal note: I don't type "correctly", and prefer to hit "B" with my right hand and "Y" with my left hand. Bad habits die hard, but I'm also ~120wpm so it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of tech life.
Finally this keyboard was the last one I tried. I was interested in Matias making a normal keyboard with their quiet linear switches from the above keyboard, but they said something should be out in a few months. I also looked into WASD/CODE, Topre, Corsair, Kinesis, and a couple others. I decided on the old-school Mini Tactile Pro and love it!
The build quality is decent and I have no initial qualms about anything. The keyboard is very loud though (Matias' ALPS are throwbacks to the Apple Extended, if that helps jog memory for anyone). The keys have some play in them, which I mentioned above that I prefer. I really like the option and option+shift characters etched into the keys (for the rare occasion I look at the board).
The board sounds like what you'd get if you took a sack, put a wood box in it, filled that box with bones from different animals, threw it over your shoulder, and went jogging. The nice part is you learn to tune it out very quickly. I mentioned before that I was a engineer that worked from home. If I did not work from home, I'm not quite sure what would result in a social experiment with this in a cubicle or office.

Also, a whole bunch of CMD shortcuts don't work either. Apparently this keyboard is running some super outdated specs; it's already vastly outdated in 2017, so who knows how functionality will be affected in the future - $150+ is a substantial gamble.
And since you'll be paying for the shipping there *and* also the shipping back, there's no way to try this product out without paying out of pocket.
Plus, the font on the keycaps look blurry, which is a little odd for a keyboard in this price range.
