Other is mechanical and other one is quasi-RD... Pretty much up to preference.

Hard to say, it's pretty much up to option. I like my Browns quite a lot...

It's just a different switch technology. The RealForce (topre) boards are technically rubber domes, but each switch is independent, which is one of the commonly accepted "mechanical" definitions (at least to my mind).

I vastly prefer my topre switches to my cherry browns, but I'm pretty sure I'm a minority on GH.
