That's just, like ... your opinion, man!
And part of the reason is that you have fallen for the idea that linear switches would be "for gaming".
With proper tactile switches, travel after actuation has little bearing on accuracy. It is the tactile event that matters.
I posted this 6 years ago https://archive.vn/JXiW5 and still no one has created a low travel distance keyboard despite there being tons of manufacturers, including many with a sole focus on gaming keyboards. This is ridiculous.
Reducing travel distance from 2mm to 1.5mm seems to be the best anyone's been able to do in the past 5 years. Not good enough. The travel distance after the key's been pressed needs to be removed in order for key presses to have optimal accuracy for gaming. Whether it's 2mm or 1.5mm it's still too much.
Recent discussion where some manufacturers have reduced the actuation distance to ~1mm, but the total travel distance is still far. https://archive.vn/XGa6E - trampoline mod, and jailhouse blues mod are mentioned, but these are even more extreme than o-rings. A manufacturer needs to make a keyboard that nullifies the need for these mods.

I have a brown switch mech. You're not understanding the need for less travel distance. The problem is not knowing when the key actuates, but the fact that it keeps moving after it does.
I'm not sure how to explain it other than the fact that the key is essentially "floating" is what the problem is. Some games need very precise actions/movements, and a key that continues to move after it's been triggered is less accurate than one that stops moving when it's been actuated.
I addressed the inadequacy of o-rings in the link I shared in the OP: https://archive.vn/JXiW5
Lack of NKRO in other keyboards is what forced me to use a mech in the first place. I saw one non-mech Razer keyboard that claimed to have NKRO, but some reviews said it didn't work well.

But I remember that some gaming brands release low profile switch keyboard recently.Maybe you were thinking of the Logitech G815 (https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-keyboards/g815-low-profile-rgb-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html) (USB) and G915 (wireless).Those have Kailh Choc switches, just branded "Logitech GL".
Isn't there a silent cherry with the little rubber nubs on the inside slider ? or was that something else.
I don't game, but I got several keyboards for my son during his teenage years. He has settled on a Cherry black TKL Filco with fairly fat soft O-rings as the preferred gaming configuration.
Just somebody's 2 cents' worth.
Alright. So how about this one then:Yeah I saw the bluetooth thing too and thought too bad, but it has a wired option too, so actually a decent option possibly. Problem is it doesn't mention what the travel distance is and it doesn't mention NKRO. I would prefer a keyboard with the numpad.

It used the kailh low choc switch. And since the switch is a low profile one, obviously the travel distance is short. I think you could give this a try then.
Edit: wait this one seems to use bluetooth though, so dont think that it would be good for gaming. But I remember that some gaming brands release low profile switch keyboard recently. Im too lazy to search for that. But that is a lead :D

Many people use o-rings and other mods to lower the travel distance. There are tons of options for people who want lots of travel distance, so there's no rational reason for people to be against a manufacturer making such a keyboard as I have described.
Rapid Trigger technology utilizes Hall effect magnetic switches to create custom actuation and reset points for every individual switch that can be adjusted on the fly at any point. https://www.ggrecon.com/reviews/endgame-kb65he-review/
What this allows as such is for key presses to deregister or 'reset' the moment that you lift your finger off the switch, as opposed to having to wait until the switch reaches its fixed reset point on a standard keyboard.
