Title: Cherry MX SP DCS Row 1 Keycap Dimensions
Post by: oaklandishh on Wed, 14 August 2013, 20:54:17

I am not exactly sure where to put this, but I used a pair of calipers and CADed up a R1 keycap. I found it way to hard to find this information online, so hopefully this will help someone who is looking for this information.

Some things like the supports I modified the thickness for 3D printing. If you are looking for the CAD and use Solidworks, I might be able to hook you up. Just PM me.

Do you mind linking me to it? I am interested in how close my measurements were.

Your title is a bit confusing. The SP profile closest to Cherry profile is called DCS.

Oh okay. Thanks. At least this adds to the stem dimensions and things like that. Thanks again.
