A side note, and probably I am completely wrong, but wouldn't it be possible to use/find a suitable pre-made "normal" mini keyboard? It seems to me a lot of work to assemble even the keyboard, switch by switch and cap by cap... For a small project I made (using an old decommissioned "thin client") I used and el-cheapo (paid it some 5 Euro) mini USB keyboard, and while surely it is not a model M, it feels much better than a number of "recent" laptop keyboards (with 0 or almost 0 key travel) I happened to try.
