On the other hand, I love mechanical switches but they fail too damn often. I have 20 year old membrane keyboards that still work flawlessly and then there's my 3 month old switches that have need replacing due to double typing.

Sounds like your switches are way too cheaply built. Im using cherry browns and they still work perfectly despite very heavy use for 7 years

I've had failing switches from all brands, Cherry, Kailh, Gateron, Omron (Logitech s) and now Momoka, the all fail within a year and need replacing.

They're just not suited for typing a lot or gaming, clicky switches tend to last longer in my experience. Only my Huntsman mini with purple switches is 11 months old and no issues but it's such a bad board and switch I don't quite use it as much.
