I have a hard time convincing my brother to get a mech keyboard. He's tried my brown, red, and blues, yet he says he still likes typing on his $5 DELL rubber dome keyboard. He's a scientist and types research papers all the time. Probably uses a keyboard more than me as a programmer... yet he loves his crappy $5 rubber dome keyboard. My wife thinks this keyboard fascination is odd.
omg my brother are same with u he prefer to type on his rubber dome, he tried my red,black,blue didnt like it
I bought my wife a Filco Majesttouch 2 with red switches. It took a while until she could write on it (reds are very softly in contrast to rubberdomes 
).
The trick is to find the Right keyboard. My OH was adamant about preferring his Old wireless Logitech RD keyboard and criticizing all mechanical keyboards I'd offered, even a Filco with ergo-Clears Id made and painted specifically for him. ...Until I got him a full-sized Ducky Shine with Clears. He
loved it immediately. How did it happen? Well, I had to really listen to his feedback, and he only likes full sized keyboards with numpad on the right. He appears to not like Costar stabilizers or Cherry profile caps. I knew he'd like stock Clears based on him trying lots of other switches. And finally he likes the white backlight and media keys (lol).
So moral of this story is: your friends and relatives most likely would love a specific mechanical keyboard--you just need to figure out what attributes would make them appreciate the swap.
