No, at the moment we have not designed an ANSI Enter Keycap.

ne stabilizer stems avail?

The original model had stabiliser stems but they were removed as the lower stem created a really small angle between itself and the wall and so the factory told us that they couldn't create it.

What model did you use for this?

This is just a standard Cherry Profile Keycap but the standard stem has too be opened up as you can't CNC the inside of a standard stem. Once you open up the stem however, the wall of the stem gets too close to the lower keycap wall.

I meant who modeled the keycap. There are certainly ways to engage the stabilizers without "traditional" stem design.

Agree with above, I'd argue they're likely unusable without the stabiliser support.

The design hasn't been finalised and we can take another look at stabiliser stems. I launched this IC as I had been sitting on this idea for a while, but nobody else had done it and I wondered if there even was any interest in Aluminium ISO Enter Keys. Thanks for the feedback!

With stabiliser support, great idea, and will pair well with some of those iso macropads in the works!

With the upcoming influx of ISO Enter macropads, I'm certainly interested. That is, if shipping is reasonable to the US.

I'm interested! I'd love to see a brass one...

Regarding stabilisers, why not do what a lot of artisan makers do and cast/3D print the stems in resin?

Thanks! There probably won't be a brass on, but we are thinking about using the following colours for Spring:
