How about buying a replacement Thinkpad keyboard and getting the switches from it?

I've used a Thinkpad as well as other laptop's keyboards over the years, and the Thinkpad ones usually do feel a bit more solid and accurate. They're still a bit too stiff for me, however, as my regular desktop's keyboard is an extremely soft rubber dome one (~40g actuation force). I've tried clicky keyboards, but never really liked them. It's definitely a personal preference.

I'd like to do that. The only problem is the switches are mounted on a custom plate. Fabricating a new plate isn't trivial because of tight tolerances. I haven't found any examples of someone who has taken on such a project as well.

What keyboard do you use?
