SA keycaps: are row 2 and row 4 same profile, but just flipped?
« on: Mon, 03 February 2014, 01:24:55 »
From the diagram for the SA family keycaps, row 2 seems to be -7º and row 4 is +7º.

I can't test this myself but was wondering if some nice soul (or a group buy person) is able to see if it's simply the case that they are the same keys but just rotated.

Partly just curious, but also it would open up choices for legends that'll work for the 1x key to the right of ISO L-shift (I am getting a blank to put there for now...)

Thanks in advance!

Well I don't own a set, but it should just be flipped considering they're both 7 deg. One goes one way and the other goes the opposite.

i really don't follow what you're trying to accomplish...

wouldn't the legend just be upside down?

Some legends may be flipped; some may be centered and symmetric like a big tilde.

Since they're both 7º then I thought there could be a chance it would work, but perhaps the stem is off-center or something.

well, i can't help you out anymore there, but if you're thinking of getting a set from a GH GB, pay attention to the specific profiles used.  some GBs are using row 3 for all their alpha rows (and maybe num row - not too sure); take that as you will.

Jeez, I never realized this. This could make putting together full sets from SP's inventory a whole lot easier.
