Is there a type of switch that is closer to a chiclet in terms of travel distance?

What about in terms of sound? I tried some kailh and they still felt a bit too long. Any suggestion?

I've achieved something similar with MX Ergo Clear along with G20 keycaps and o-rings. The switches have a much more similar tactile bump to laptop switches, the G20 keycaps lower the overall height and make the keyboard nearly flat, finally the o-rings shorten the travel to just under 3mm. DSA keycaps are the same height too but have sculpted surfaces.
