I'd already be fully satisfied if the 2022 Lenovo Legion 5/5 Pro/7 used 1.5-1.8mm ThinkPad X1 Extreme keyboards. Anything more than 2mm key travel sounds like a super thick chonker of a laptop.

Am I the only one who sees this looks like a mechanical/metallic version of the infamous "Butterfly" key switches?

Well they should sell and market them with the keyboard durability, reliability and long-life as the plus point, then maybe it can succeed.

Total keytravel is 4.0mm on both Cherry Red and Cherry Blue.

2.0mm and 2.2mm refer to the height of the actuation point. This new ULP switch has an actuation point at 0.8mm

As for the switch itself, the mechanism is very similar to Kailh's Clickbar mechanism, and it's even very similar to Kailh's own attempts at low profile switches (Not just Kailh Chocs, search for PG1316)

I guess Cherry is finally starting to learn from the best. Welcome back to the land of the living! You got some catching up to do.

Cherry has successfully shrunk its mechanical keys for ultrathin laptops to make it theoretically possible for models like the MSI GS66, Aorus 15, or Asus Zephyrus to come with integrated Cherry keyboard options. The first laptops to sport the new Cherry keys will the Alienware m15 and m17.
