Because keyboards are a personal preference thing and the nature of mechanical allows for more implementation styles, there are an insane number of types of mechanical keyboards.
Here are the variables:
Actuation Point (Where does the press register)
Linear vs Tactile vs (Tactile + Clicky)
Force (IE how much pressure to push down)
total travel distance.
(There are also some optical switches with adjustable actuation)
>The tactile keyboards have a "click" somewhere, but it is not connected to the actual keypress registraion.
MX Blue actuates at 2mm but clicks somewhere around 1.75mm, Razer's tactile switch on the other hand actuates right on the top of its click/bump. You can also find some that actuate before the click.
>On top of that they are ridiculously tall.

Basically just google low profile mechanical keyboard switches. mechanical keyboard travel distance goes from around 4mm down to 1.5~mm. And there are all kinds of thin ones.
>It is worst on the linear gaming keyboards, where resting your fingers on the keys can cause them to register.
Cherry MX Red: ~45cN force
Cherry MX Black: ~60cN force
Cherry MX Grey: ~80cN force
There are tons of problems with mechanical keyboards but your problems are not them.
