I find the height of mechanical keyboards too high (ie they are much thicker than apple keyboards) and it causes strain on my shoulders.
I am much more relaxed typing on a thin keyboard like the Apple ones.

Another under-discussed point: relative to a MacBook like keyboard, mechanical keyboards help in one way, but introduce a huge problem: the mouse. After using several mechanical keyboards (including Keychron 3) with a an ultra wide monitor setup, I recently just happened to switch back to using my 2021 MacBook Pro, and the trackpad was an absolute relief to my shoulders. The fact that that you can move and click with both your thumbs is a big plus.
If there is a setup that nicely combines the best of both worlds ( Mech keyboard plus trackpad nicely placed) I would love to hear of it.
