I mean about tactile feel, sound, feedback? I guess they are far from mech. right?

g83 boards are rubber dome boards. Not the worst domes Ive felt, not the best either. Cherry g80 boards are mechanical (MX switches), g81 are rubber domes with mx compatible keycaps (MY switches), g82 are low throw scissor switches, g84 are mechanical compact switches (aka ML).
