I have not tried budget PBT like these artifact bloom or the hk gaming series, although on amazon people said the hk gaming series is shorter than regular cherry profile keycaps, thus making the switches more visible from the side profile.
But you are saying that most PBT cherry are taller than GMK cherry profile keycaps?
It would be nice if you can include a side profile shots of these caps.
Nice review BTW. Makes me reconsider spending $120+ on EPBT and infinikey sets, but those are already sunk cost...
