I used bamboo shish kebab skewers to shorten the key travel.  I just cut the
tapered end off, and glue it onto the board with a few dots of rubber 
cement.  The keycaps will hit the skewer instead of the board.  I admit
that this is not as neat as the previously mentioned method; but it's a
lost easier to do.

You can also remove the things if you don't like them.  I'm doing that
this weekend.
