Sure, it's a 3D printable key switch design (yes, it's smooth--not scratchy). I've already made one hand-wired prototype and I posted about it on Reddit here:
I've also designed two keyboard stablizers: One that's "regular" (Cherry compatible) and one that's meant to work with my hall effect switch design that incorporates magnets to ensure it never rattles. I haven't released them yet though (Soon™).
My key switch design was created in OpenSCAD and is parametric. So if you want you can customize every little detail of the switch from the size of the magnets to the travel to the initial force required to depress a key (by controlling how close the magnets get at rest).
Once I have a working keyboard firmware I'll release the whole thing open source so everyone can play around with it.
Oh! I also made a keycap design library for OpenSCAD to go along with all of this called the "Keycap Playground"...
That video is so frustrating: I’m just trying to look at the thing, but your LEDs keep on cycling through annoying and distracting patterns that quite ruin the picture by throwing the camera’s light metering off and adding lens flare. I got about halfway through before it was altogether too much for me.
I would have really enjoyed watching the same video with the LEDs turned off.
Anyway, I’m going to look more closely into this now, because other that that it looks like a really interesting project! :-)

Here's a gif of the switch mechanism in action:

Here's a video where I talk about the macro pad and demonstrate some of the features of my key switch design:

I've made two PCB (prototype) designs for using my hall effect switches:
