The switches in the newer n52te and the new "Razer" nostromo are much better then the membrane switches used in the old Belkin N52 and much better then other membrane keyboards or controllers.
Although the newer N52TE and the Razer Nostromo use "dome" switches, the dome design is much more rigid, giving a much better feel. They have a distinct activate point which needs a decent amount of force (65g) and they quickly pop back up when the force is removed. The action is quick and consistant.
Sure, they're not mechanical, but they perform acceptably well for fast gaming. And that's first hand experience, having used one in pro gaming over the past several years.
Also, being OCN, you could always buy a used n52te off ebay and then pull it apart and put some mechanical keys in it if you really need to have mechanical
