Keycap size check

After looking over the keycap wiki. I was wanting to double check that standard noppoo keycaps are smaller than standard Filco and will not fit the standard Filco.

They are the same. If it's the Choc Mini then the right shift is smaller.

That's great to hear. On the wiki it looks like they are smaller for some reason. Thanks

The profile is lower, closer to Cherry than Filco. So yes, you are not imagining it. All keysizes are common except the 1.75 right shift, which is fairly hard to source on any other boards/aftermarket.

Oh yeah, forgot they are shorter, but they are swap-able still.

Of course they are still swappable, but if someone is like me, I can't stand different profile on same board. It makes me crazy different heights and shapes. Some people don't mind at all...

That's what I was kind of worried about. I hope I don't mind the different profile too much. Let the testing begin.

Didn't bother me when I had mixed keycaps on my Choc Mini, but I can understand that it may bug some people like lysol said.
I think one of the kits in the R4 group buy has a key to accommodate the right shift on the Choc Mini, fyi.

I would get a set from wasd, but I wanted to try out some pom keys. Got a 37 set of purple pom keys. Also got a 37 set of pink abs just in case I don't like them. Couldn't find purple abs anywhere for a better price than the pink set. Wasd should carry purple. Bummer
