I really like it for gaming, specifically. The keyboard feels faster, since pressing a key is a much smaller movement. But unlike a mushy membrane keyboard, it still has that mechanical precision, like a mouse click (though not quite that small a movement).
It depends on the exact switch, but most LP switches are just a short travel mech switch, but not laptop short. You can get them in different “color” same as full height switches, so if you have the opportunity, try some. I’ve tried kaihl chocs, gateron lps, and the g515 switches, they’re all nice in slightly different ways.
I personally especially like the way my g915 lays super flat and thin on the table, compared to full height keyboards. The resting position of my hands is such much less stress-inducing. For that ergonomic advantage alone, I’ve lost interest in ever using a full height keyboard again.
