Ok, nice. Is there inter-compatibility between switches and keycaps among the suppliers? I am looking for low profile keys like a notebook.
Among scissor-switches, no.
And.. it would be difficult for a hobbyist to build a one-off scissor-switch keyboard with a custom layout. That would require injection moulding and/or a metal press to make the back plane.
You could perhaps get a laptop keyboard and connect the membrane contacts - but remember that matrices for membrane keyboards are somewhat larger than for mechanical keyboards (that we use to make here) because they don't have diodes. If you don't have diodes then you would need to make the matrix sparser to avoid running into ghosting issues.
If you want a custom layout then you could look at
Cherry ML, which is a low-profile (ish) mechanical keyboard switch. Easiest way to get switches and keycaps would be to buy a keyboard in the Cherry G84 series but the keycaps are smaller than normal.
I think only
