That's me ordered.

When you get your hands on the x, be sure to hit me up so I can buy one of them too.

[MatchstickMan]

Beautiful!

I was actually just working with a machinist yesterday on modeling up a CNC-able Cherry keycap. I'm curious how much engagement your cap has to the stem? Mine ended up being 0.1" as modeled. I'm worried that it's going to be too little engagement and it will slip off too easily.

[breusch91]

Would love a nice set of artisans I can use as actual keys and not place on unused keys. I notice these say oem R1, would it be okay to use these as wasd keys or do you think the higher profile would be annoying?

edit: did some checking of others listed and noticed it said to be used as escape key. Any plans in the future to make ones that can be used for higher use keys such as wasd or the arrow keys?

[duynguyenle]

As I already have a couple of the R1 Wave, I think I'll only go in for one this time, interested to see the differences between your different suppliers.

Still waiting on those Cherry Profile wave caps 

[KingRama]

In for one!

Thanks heaps mate!

That's me ordered.

When you get your hands on the x, be sure to hit me up so I can buy one of them too.

Cheers bro! Will do regarding the X cap

For me, I don't think it would be annoying if you're using it purely for gaming or something as the WASD keys would stand out from the rest. But maybe for typing it could be a little strange. Definitely suited best as an escape key Definitely plans in the future for dedicated keys (such as arrow/wasd) Cheers mate!

Yeah dude, you went ham with the R1 Yeah I'm interested to see the differences too, getting a much higher beadblast grit this time, it will be comparable to the grit used in Apple products

hahaha i know, I know. Still need to get my hands on a physical model

I can send you a spare Cherry keycap in top row profile if that helps

Awesome, I'm going to wait for the dedicated keys since I also use the board for typing a lot of the time and don't want to constantly switch out, would like them to be a mainstay of my board. Can't wait till you have a sale for those and hope im around to snag them!  These ones look great and glws!

[nathanrosspowell]

Gah, you got me again! I love these caps

[jal]

Did I miss the "November is RAMA month" announcement? I'm in, of course. And when that keyboard you helped with comes up, of course.

Could you open a savings account for me? I seem to be incapable of sending money to mine; I'll just sign my paycheck over to you and it'll probably work better.

Thanks man!
oh exciting! Would love to see what you do What are you referring to by "engagement"?

Engagement as in how far the stem of the Cherry Switch Stem slides into the cruciform. Rather, how deep is the cruciform from the bottom of the cap?

Oh right! The stem on the cap is 3.85 MM, on the switch slider it's around 3.5mm - so full engagement!

Hope that answers your question
