Somewhat tangential: clicky switches, like Cherry Blues, tend to click twice for each stroke. I think this leads to people assuming there are twice as many strokes going on. Tactile switches tend to only click once (when they bottom out). So, fancy keyboards can make people sound faster than they are.
I don't think that's quite right. Many switches including tactiles will make a sound when the switch tops out, from the stem hitting the housing.
As far as I know, Cherry blues only click once and the second sound you hear on a keypress is just the topping out sound.

And they make little o rings to dampen that if you're hardcore.
Add a guy that bottoms out the keys and you will have an additional "click".
