Yes, both the font and the size.

I used WASDKeyboards to "convert" a French AZERTY board to QWERTY. In natural light, you can see that the laser engraving is slightly brighter then the stock Filco one. Under a strong light, you can see that the plastic is quite different too, but I don't notice under normal use.

In the photo, QWEAZ\ are from WASD, the other letters are from the stock Filco.

Do you happen to know the font size of enter character (Wingding 3 I assume) on the full uk majestouch 2?

Cheers

Can you confirm that the profile on the WASD keys is a little bit higher than that of the same Filco key?

I have an unused set of Filco ABS keycaps that I may put on another board with a WASD 37 keyset. I was wondering about the consistency of the keys and whether the height would be different.

No, the plasticprofile is the same far as I can tell.
After a bit of use, it looks like the Filco keys got more wear and tear.
