So, I tried for a little while a MX Red keyboard and the only difference that I felt from a high quality rubber dome keyboard was the "spring" feeling. So I was wondering, since there's no feedback, nor tactile nor audible, in linear mechanical switches, what's the differentiator between the two?
 
Solution
You pretty much listed it.
Rubber dome keyboards just have a little connection that is completed, Linear switches have an actual switch that clicks over.

If you want a real difference, try browns.
