The shape is important because on properly sculptured keycaps, your
fingers self-center. On flat square keys they don't.
The mechanism is important for an entirely different reason.
I have yet to see a keyboard that had crappy square flat unsculptured
keycaps, but good key mechanisms, so I think it's safe to assume that
all chicklet keyboards completely suck.
