Sorry i admit i am bias.  Please come back Quazacolt.

Back to mech, i don't think a keyboard will help you jumping the ladder, i don't see myself flying either. Like a better mouse, the precision indeed helps and seriously a great treat to your fingers.  It takes a day or two to get used to the heavier keyboard and the new pressure but once you get used to it, it is a good investment.  A mech keyboard life is much longer too.  Come on, it is indeed a better keyboard for rts players, why else progamers take the hassle to carry that heavier keyboard all the way to tourney even abroad.
my two cents

Well i own a mech keyboard, it doesn't really help much but at least i able to double/triple tap faster than i use membrane keyboard, its so responsive.

Furthermore my WPM improved from 95 to 11x thanks to it.

Macro keys are actually not allowed in Starcraft II ladder if I'm not mistaken. I remember that Grubby, or somebody else (quite sure it's Grubby) advertising this and it was under heavy flaming. So no, If you want to get better in SCII, using a keyboard with custom macros is not the way, and it's also illegal.

illegal in competitions?

Not just in competitions, in ladder as well, basicly the usage of macro keys on ladder is not "legal" following the terms of use. It has been discussed before on TL and Bliz has confirmed it.

Membrane and mechanical keyboard make so much different on gaming?
I think macro and key assign is more important.

I am refering to general gaming not specific to sc2.
Tournaments can't allow, but pub players like us sure find them handy. Don't you agree?
