I just received a sample pack from WASD with Cherry MX switches and keycaps. I noticed that the keycaps are a lot taller than they need to be.
I've been looking for some low profile cherry MX keycaps online, but I haven't been able to find any.
What are the lowest profile Cherry MX keycaps available, and where can I get them? I am preferably looking for spherical keycaps, but I'd also be happy with cylindrical if those are they are lower profile.

Signature Plastics DSA, while nowhere near laptop profile, are probably the shortest production MX keycaps you can get now. The center height is 0.295" above the bottom of the skirt. SP has different MX stem length options, and I don't see that that group buy has picked one; there is a 0.085" recessed option, which would make the effective height 0.210" (5.3mm), which is about as low as you can get given the MX's 4mm travel.
