Unlike rubber dome keyboards which trigger at the bottom of the stroke, mechanical keyboards trigger mid-stroke. You don't have to bottom out the keys, which reduces shock loading of your fingers. If you actually want to bottom out the keys, you can approximate the rubber dome feeling by using a linear keyswitch modded with a soft o-ring around the stem to cushion the impact.
