VT is just a proposal. I happened to have that board and caps laying around in my Solidworks files from when I started the project

There was a time when I was very interested in this. Now my layouts have moved to ANSI. Still, I use one with ISO Enter. The ANSI has the advantage that it can have a short backspace on top of it, instead of the big ass.
This is my upcoming build. My own interpretation of an International Danish layout.

Very nice. You could almost say it's not ide(o)us

jihadu, thanks for renders!

As for me, I don't really care for colors.
For start I'd love to get several solid-color BAEs (black is the first choice with white/no caption) of different profiles (OEM+cherry).

I thought this project already went to GB/Necro!

I'm really happy to see this project still alive.

I've currently designing a 60% keyboard that uses the BAE.

If this is going to become a reality, I will definitely go with the ISO stab enter, because up until now, I've been designing around the Tai Hao BAE, which they reference as 6Gv2 Enter.

The weird stabiliser needed for it has been really difficult to source, so all the more for this project to succeed.

That's nice. I haven't seen one. What keyboard is that?

That's a G80-0778.  Sorry for the tardy reply

So what's the next step here?  It seems like you were in touch with GMK but the entire first post is stricken through, so can we just get a dimensioned drawing of their keycap and order a sample in any color and figure out if it will work ???

Here's a board I built with a set of DCS keycaps that had a BAE, if it's possible I think it would be alot easier to reach MOQ if the keycap could be tooled to use ANSI Enter stabilizer positions, with a stem in the spot of the Pipe key for a dummy switch at the top half of the keycap - that would allow alot of non-ISO boards to use the BAE, and also allow for easy switching back to ANSI enter. My opinion is that if you're already using an ISO enter, there's no real need to change to a BAE, but if you're using ANSI enter, a BAE would be a fun way to get ISO-esque aesthetic without having to rebuild your keyboard (or buy a new PCB/Plate in the case of boards that don't support ISO)

This is a very interesting idea. Switching between ANSI-Enter and BAE would be a terrific way to have fun and to experience something different, from time to time.

I need this in my life.
It would be fantastic if there was an easy way to convert ISO or ANSI boards into BAE boards without the need for special stabilizers.

Hey, I just want to add my two cents. I was looking to support the ISO BAE in my build. I included some pictures, especially the one from the Keyboard Layout Editor shows perfectly how the position is off by a few mm. It was already said, but a more clear visualisation:
