Yes: before you buy anything, figure out what kind of key switches you 
want in your mechanical keyboard. Do you want a click? Do you want a 
high or low activation force? Do you want tactile feedback?

Most mechanical keyboards use Cherry key switches, and they come in 
black, brown, blue, clear and red varieties. There are other 
manufacturers of key switches as well.

The Mechanical Keyboard Guide may be of help:

It gets good reviews. You could consider the Filco or the Leopold 
keyboards as well, but they might be a bit more difficult to get hold of 
(Korean made), and not everybody might have a Mac layout.

I'd suggest against the Razer(s), because as usual with that brand, it 
looks fantastic when you buy it, but things wear pretty quickly, and 
overall build of Razer products is not exactly great.

Still lovely to use, though, at least their mice are.
