So I think I've tried most of the common profiles (OEM, Leopold, Cherry, Topre, DSA) though I haven't really try DCS yet nor SA profiles.
I bought a
Topre HiPro a while back and thought it was very very similar to
SA profile, except I didn't like it that much thought it was overly sculpted.
Since I didn't like the profile so I didn't look too much into it but I recently found out that the Filco Doubleshot is also SA profile but it's more uniform.
This is when I realize there are many ways to arrange SA profiles.
First let's look at
SA profile and its rows.
I think most of the recent group buys went with
3-1-2-3-4-3,
Topre HiPro also uses the same profile even though their keycaps are not made by SP.
I think traditionally a few of the group buy run with
1-1-2-3-4-4 (similar to
DCS/OEM/Cherry type of arrangements where they double up the top and bottom rows to save cost.
Now I know some people do all uniform such as
3-3-3-3-3-3 so they can use it on
Erogodox or any keyboard with irregular key arrangements.
Filco on the other hand is the ONLY one that I know that use
2-2-3-3-3-3, so the top 2 row are slightly angled while the rest is uniform.
Source:
Text reads "Top 2 Row" and follow by "Bottom 4 Row".
Now the question is, I'm actually quite interested in the
Filco arrangements
2-2-3-3-3-3, or even
3-3-3-3-3-3 is not bad either.
Anyone know if there's any way to get this aside from the Filco Doubleshot?
Is there any group buy that runs either of those 2 arrangements?
