Title: Artisan/novelty Keycaps that fit SA profile Esc row?
Post by: PunksDead on Tue, 18 November 2014, 02:30:43

Random question and mods feel free to move this to the required thread,

Looking around at all the different artisan/novelty caps available but its hard to denote their profile compared with the heights of different keysets. Brocaps zombros looks to be the perfect height, is there any other artisan caps that fit a taller SA profile?

Thanks

I mean, they'll all fit MX.

None of them are expressly tall, you'll just have to deal.

Why even comment?

I made a "chode cap" once, but it never hit the market :(

Because sometimes the answer is no?

I am thinking that Nubbinator's heart keycap might work.

Definitely as tall, if not taller than SA itself, no idea if it will look alright beside it though.

Zombros are near the right height, certainly the right thickness and width

Cinn Iron Man may suit SA profile, too. The base sits higher than the bottom of most MX caps, so it's relatively tall compared to most profiles.

Then again, most artisan caps are not made to suit a particular profile, some are taller, some are shorter, but very few actually match the height of any particular profile.

Thanks for the info guys much appreciated,

Basically i have come to terms with SA being the perfect profile for my tastes. I enjoy a slight raised Esc rather than set low so this has become a little difficult to find. Thanks for your input guys i need to do some more stalking
