Mechanical key switches have really evolved over the past 4 to 5 years.  We only had a few switches to choose from and now we have quite a lot.  The new trend you are going to see this year is thinner and low-profile mechanical switches and keyboards.  Today we are actually checking out our second low-profile mechanical keyboard, which is the Tesoro GRAM XS.  This keyboard features ultra low profile key switches with a chicklet style keycap.  Being big fans of white keyboards Tesoro sent us the white version that features a white chassis with white keycaps.
