Any chance of Cherry switches in a decent laptop? I know of at least one attempt (can't remember the device's name) but I guess it wasn't too popular...

Probably not, not without a new design anyway. The current switch modules are >20mm tall by the time you have a keycap, and that's without a PCB underneath etc. Not many laptops are going to go to that from the few millimetres taken up by a membrane.

Someday a company will plug a few million into designing a slim mechanical key and the world will go wild...

I think this will be for the RGB lightning keyboard.

Can anyone actually tell the difference between 5g actuation? Would it even be noticed after a few minutes of adjustment (providing you had a switch within 5g of the new ones)?
