Not sure about low latency (especially since this article seems to have failed to test that at all...), but for low-profile cherry-style switches you could look into the new low-profile Kailh switches, which are sort of based on the old Cherry ML switches. The only manufactured board you can buy with these right now is the Havit HV-KB390L[1], as far as I know.
If you are really tied to the cherry mx style you could check out the kailh and cherry "speed" switches, which have slightly shorter travel distance and a higher actuation point.

i found a low-profile kalih switch keyboard and it's the first of around 10 mechanical keyboards that im not returning. https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switch...
A low-profile tenkeyless mechanical keyboard might be an option: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switch...
Thanks, I'll try to! At the moment the fastest mech board I've found is the (cheap, as mech keebs go) Havit with new low-profile switches:

Sure, I'm using this one, it's great: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switch...
Mostly they use Kailh switches, not Cherry MX but you probably can't tell the difference.
the switches and general feel of this keyboard is the best of any mechanical ive used (i have about 8 high-end mechanicsl ive gone through). its also much lower to the desk so i dont get wrist aches or need a wrist rest.
