Small WM: i3
You might look at i3. This is the git repo and Here's the main site where you can read about it. It's under active development currently (updated pretty much daily, but the MASTER branch is stable), but I've been using it for a couple months now without problems (I use the NEXT branch). If you find a problem that's not addressed in the docs, pop into the IRC and ask about it.
It's as mouse free as you like; I use the mouse mainly to operate Firefox, but as far as opening & closing apps or windows, moving windows, changing focus, launching stuff or whatever, it's all keyboard. And, screen real estate used by it can be big fat zero: if you don't use a status bar, you have a blank screen at your disposal..
I really don't know how much *real* ram it consumes while running (beyond what I can get from the tools shown below), but it's pretty small. Below is what I see in HTOP and PMAP for the process.
Code:

Here's what `pmap` shows (still appears larger than your target memory usage, but I'm using 24bit color and two wide monitors -- I *guess* memory used would be less, with smaller screen/displays? I'm not sure though..):

Sorry if it's still too greedy - your requirements are really slim ;)
