What would make this different from, say, Matt3o's MT3 profile?

Definitely interesting, but what about it is unique?

They look very similar. I'd be interested in this profile if it's different, though.

I would like to see some new profiles that aren't Hi-Pro

[zslane]

Agreed. Between SA and MT3 we have all the high profile spherical keycap families we need.

What I'd love to see is XDA expanded to fully sculptured form.

I do remember someone working on something of that sort. I believe it was evangs, and the set looked really good. I'll try and find it.

That would be an interesting development

Beside the new profile, a new dye-sub technique is also shown in the pictures
both the DSA and Cherry profile keys are pbt with dye-sub legends

I'd say the most significant difference will be the R3, MT3's R3 was designed with careful considerations! really love his effort

Also, there are many details that i can go deeper I will update soon

Update!



More details coming soon!

This is weird. The F-row and number row are different profiles, but that's not what strikes me as off.

What I find strange is that the num-row doesn't continue to sculpt like the f-row does, it's not fluid.

How do you plan on selling this profile? Are you running a group buy with a colorway you have in mind?

Edit: I'd also post new photos in a different comment in the future, that way people can scroll to the bottom of the last page and find the new stuff (as well as posting it in the main comment, I guess)

Thanks for your suggestions!

Cherry profile also had a R0 profile for F-row in vintage keyboards, so i dont think its that weird to have a different profile between the F-row and 1-9 num row.

About sculpt tho, num row is still sculpted, but less sculpted than F-row. However, i think this is more fluid you will have a more natural sculpt, say on a 75% keyboard where there's no spacing between the F-row and num row

We are still collecting how you guys think of this profile

I don't think I said this in my above comment, but as of now all I can do is comment on looks, and I would still buy it.

Any possibility to get a comparison to SA on a board, as well as Cherry?

New profile vs. SA

super large pic!!

[scwoopz]

Now you have me interested. Very good height on the caps. How are you planning to sell? Through a group buy with a specific colorway or just in black.

Had this been posted on Reddit? I can do so if you don't want to, it would sure garner some more attention.

-Again, no specific plans for now, open to ideas and suggestions

I have a couple colorways I've been working on that I can show ya if you're interested

[pixelpusher]

Kinda like spherical OEM.  How did you have that test batch made??  I'm very curious to see the process.  They don't appear to be printed. 

[punksinatra]

Ok the comparison photos between the these new profile and SA and OEM got me interested.

Will closely watch this thread

[pixelpusher]

I wonder if these are closest to hipro keycaps like that of the realforce.  Maybe a bit less sculpture but similar.  Still very interested

[Niomosy]

Spherical OEM sounds like a pretty solid profile.  SA is a bit on the tall side.  This profile looks like it comes in at a good height.

I'm working on a profile that is cherry profiling with spherical tops

whoa... like sculpted xda in a way.  Nice.  I still prefer all one profile, but I would def try them out

[spacewolf]

Ughhhh so much hyyyppppeeeee (for me)

I want both of these now, so badly.

[Vadurr]

This interests me

[Lazarus]

Look a bit lower than SA , should I call SA low profile

But look very nice. Is the material was PBT?

[alisonica]

Is there a possibility of having a more aggressive spherical concave on the top of the caps like Topre HiPro's home row.
It  feels as if my fingertips were boobs and the spherical tops were bras with the Topre.
I'll be up for so many sets of spherical top lopros
