For a touch typist, the amount of travel is also important.

The MacBook Pro keyboard is one of the worst keyboards I've used in over 35 years of computing. Not just the response, but the finger is still on the down stroke and the key has already reached bottom, before you register you have touched it.

It is the same with most modern, non-mechanical keyboards. I miss my old Microsoft Natural keyboard, from the first generation. I've had each successive generation and the keys have become worse and worse, although the worst is possibly the 4000, the two newer generations are slightly better, but still not a patch on the original.
