Hi! I've have a pair of MKs (one of them an IBM clicky, typing just right now).
But i am looking for very low profile mk. I've just some idea for a foldable kb and want to do some experiments.

I've seen this one here, the Cherry G84, also pretty cheap to get in EU (just 40$), so nice to experiment with it (probably i am going to build/print the new case)

Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks friends!

Edit: if someone has the one without trackball or trackpad, could i get the measurements? thanks!

There are ML-like switches out from Gateron (that's supposedly who makes them) and Kailh (PG1350 series). The Gateron (?) type is as shifty as usual, but [wiki]Kailh PG1350 series[/wiki] is better understood.

The lowest profile seems to be [wiki]Alps ultra low profile[/wiki] if you can scavenge one from a Nan Tan laptop. To this day I'm still annoyed that I didn't purchase the machine I found them in, or write down its FCC ID.

Thanks for useful information, i'll check them all.

Interesting the Nan Tan laptop, it seems very rare!
