The top one is a Cherry POS keyboard.
2nd one is BTC-5100C.
3rd one is a tiny NOVA USB keyboard, about the same width as an octave on a standard piano.

That's not a keyboard, that's just a fancy switch tester. ;)

But it would fit into your vest pocket nicely.

I think it could be used effectively for mood lighting

When I saw the thread topic that was the first keyboard that came to mind. I am a huge fan of 60% keyboards, but I keep a 65% in reserve if I need to do some text editing and need those arrow keys/nav keys. I don't think I could survive with basic punctuation on a function layer :?

that small board is called Gherkin btw.
@Stabilized
I use 90% my function-layer-arrows on asdf on my ergoDox, and just sometimes the normal arrow cluster on the right half bottom line..

This isn't a mechanical keyboard, but it could be.

Any smaller than the frogpad, you'll end up with something like the gkos.
