I don't know that I can express it. If I had it with me and could perform a live comparison to my mechanical here I could probably say.
Next time I visit my parents (new years maybe) I'll give it a try.
From memory, which may not be accurate, I would say it felt more like playing a piano. The feel had a certain weightiness to it, and there wasn't some peak resistance/click midway through the travel.
The nice thing about my MBPr is that the keyboard doesn't even enter my mind when I'm using it. I just type. I have to make an effort to specifically pay attention to it.
And that is really how I like it. I don't type because I want to feel the keyboard. I type because I want to write something.
I think people are mistaking familiarity (or lack thereof) with the goodness or badness of a keyboard.
