Cherry profile caps but with softer edges?

<< < (2/2)

Handke:
Perhaps you just need to be a better typist? I had the same problem when I started typing, but now I'm much better and I don't feel the edges anymore.

HungerMechanic:
I am typing on DCS profile right now, and it seems to me to be a rounded Cherry-profile. It was indeed a semi-common profile at one time.

The keycap surfaces 'hug' you more than Cherry, it feels less squarish and angular. You could also maybe look at MT3 for a giant, hi-profile version of this.

quite thin???

Endeavour1934:
Some of the PBT sets have a slightly rounder edge around the top, but I don't think its noticeable while you use it.

But Leopold/Varmilo PBT sets (Step Sculpture 2) are even sharper than GMK.

Yes, modern DCS profile is very thin. For some, this makes it good for light tactiles and maybe light linears: switches where you don't want to dampen the tactility or feel.

If you prefer a thicker version, the old fashioned DCS such as Wyse could indeed be very thick, but it is hard to find now.
